[2226] 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.

Mr. O'Kelly Mr. O'Kelly

Mr. O'Kelly: Would I be in order in asking the Minister a question about the Lane pictures?

Professor O'Sullivan Professor O'Sullivan

Professor O'Sullivan: 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.

Mr. Moore Mr. Moore

Mr. Moore: Would the Minister give us particulars of the pictures purchased during the last twelve months?

Professor O'Sullivan Professor O'Sullivan

Professor O'Sullivan: 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.
