§ Mr. FIELDasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether he is aware that the delay in the erection of the promised receiving and examining depot in Dublin has aroused indignation; whether he has received a copy of the resolution of protest passed at a meeting in St. Patrick's Division; and whether, under those circumstances, the War Office will consider the advisability of commencing the building, as materials are procurable and a properly equipped institution would lead to economy, efficiency, and convenience?
§ Mr. FORSTERYes, Sir; my hon. Friend has sent me a copy of the resolution. As I have already informed him, it has been decided that a receiving depot is to be established in Dublin as soon as a suitable building with the necessary railway facilities can be provided. It has been reported that no such building can 545W be found, but directions have been given to see if it is possible now to alter or adapt some existing building so as to provide the requisite accommodation without waiting for the erection of new premises.
