Vol. 177 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Ownership of Stained Glass Window.

12.

asked the Minister for External Affairs if his attention has been drawn to the statement to the effect that the stained glass window by Evie Hone, known as "My Four Green Fields" is on loan from Mrs. F.H. Boland; and whether in view of the fact that he recently stated that this window is the property of the Nation, there has been any change of ownership since that statement.

The Deputy's question appears to be based on a misunderstanding. The statement to which the question refers does not speak of the stained glass window by Miss Evie Hone entitled "My Four Green Fields" but of a panel bearing the same title, which was, I understand, a scale study for the window.

The Deputy was informed, in reply to a question put by him on 26th November, 1958, that the stained glass window was the property of the Commissioners of Public Works. There has been no change in that position.
