HC Deb 01 July 1913 vol 54 c1669
79. Mr. BOLAND

asked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland) whether lie is now in a position to state when the bibliography of Irish Language and Literature will be published, and at what price it will be sold to the public?

Mr. T. W. RUSSELL (Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture, Ireland)

Owing to an unforeseen delay as regards a special paper for this work, the printing-off has been retarded. It is hoped, however, that the book will be issued about the end of August next. The Department are informed that His Majesty's Statonery Office have not yet fixed the price at which the work will be sold.

Mr. BOLAND

Is the delay due to the difficulty in providing Irish-made paper; if so, what was the reason for delay?

Mr. RUSSELL

I am not able to give any further information.

Mr. BOLAND

Will the right hon. Gentleman inquire whether, as a matter of fact, Irish-made paper is going to be used in this book?
