Vol. 34 No. 18

Constituency of Longford and Westmeath. - National Gallery.

I move:—

Go ndeontar suim ná raghaidh thar £2,737 chun slánuithe na suime is gá chun íoctha an Mhuirir a thiocfidh chun bheith iníoctha i rith na bliana dar críoch an 31adh lá de Mhárta, 1931, chun Tuarastail agus Costaisí an Ghailerí Náisiúnta.

That a sum not exceeding £2,737 be granted to complete the sum necessary to defray the Charge which will come in course of payment during the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1931, for the Salaries and Expenses of the National Gallery.

Would I be in order in asking the Minister a question about the Lane pictures?

The Deputy may be in order, but at the moment I could not give him an answer. He had better give notice of the question. These pictures are certainly not the property of the trustees at the moment.

Would the Minister give us particulars of the pictures purchased during the last twelve months?

I could give particulars of one or two, but it would be more satisfactory if the Deputy would put down a question.

Question put and agreed to.
