§ Mr. MOONEYasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will take the necessary steps to arrange that in future Admiralty contracts for works in which granite is required shall be advertised in Irish newspapers, so that Irish quarry owners may have the opportunity of tendering for the supply of Irish granite?
§ Mr. McKENNAThe supply of materials is a question for the contractors, and the Admiralty have nothing to do with the source from which firms tendering for the works obtain the materials specified to be used in their execution.
