HC Deb 22 May 1911 vol 26 cc105-6W
Mr. MULDOON

asked on what terms the directors of the Bank of Ireland hold the College Green premises from Government; and whether an Act of Parliament will be necessary to secure possession of them, or whether it can be secured by service of a notice to quit?

Mr. BIRRELL

I understand that the Crown's leasehold interest in the premises in College Green was purchased in 1803 by the Bank of Ireland, and that the Bank in 1845 purchased the fee from the representatives of the lessors. The Crown, having parted with its interest, has no power to serve notice to quit.
