REPORT OF JOINT COMMITTEE ON ACCOMMODATION FOR THE OIREACHTAS.

Do bunuíodh an Có-Choiste i dtaobh slí don Oireachtas leis an Rún so leanas a rith Dáil Éireann an 10adh Iúl, 1923:—

“That the Dáil appoint the following:—An Ceann Comhairle, the Minister for Local Government (Mr. E. Blythe), Deputies Burke, Hughes, McGarry, Murphy, Gorey, Johnson, Davin and William Magennis (five to form a quorum), to constitute, with such Senators as may be appointed by the Seanad, a Committee to consider how suitable accommodation for the Oireachtas may best be provided and to examine such plans as may be submitted to them, and that the Seanad be requested to appoint to such Committee such members of the Seanad as the Seanad may think fit, and that it be an instruction to the Committee to report upon the matter submitted to them at their earliest convenience, but not later than the 27th July.”

agus leis an Rún so leanas a rith Seanad Éireann an 11adh Iúl, 1923:—

“That the Seanad agree to the request contained in the Resolution passed by Dáil Éireann on July 10th to appoint members to a Joint Committee for the purpose stated in the Resolution of Dáil Éireann, and that the following Senators be appointed:—Lord Glenavy, J. G. Douglas, Sir Thomas Esmonde, Mrs. Stopford Green, Mrs. Wyse Power, Peter de Loughrey, Sir Nugent Everard, Martin Fitzgerald, J. T. O’Farrell and W. B. Yeats.”

Do comóradh cruinnithe Dé Máirt, 17adh Iúl, Déardaoin, 19adh Iúl and Déardaoin, 26adh Iúl.

Di dhin an Coiste díospóireacht i dtaobh roinnt ionad ina bhféadfaí slí d’fháil don Oireachtas agus thugadar cuaird ar an Oisbidéal Ríoghdha i gCill Maighneann.

Bé tuairim an Choiste go raibh dhá roinn fé leith sa cheist sin i dtaobh slí don Oireachtas, eadhon, (1) áitreabh buan agus (2) áitreabh sealadach.

Maidir le háitreabh buan don Oireachtas do ritheadh an Rún so leanas:—

“This Committee, without desiring or intending to prejudice in any way the decision as to the permanent site for the Oireachtas, recommend that a Commission, including experts, should be appointed at an early opportunity to enquire and report to both Houses as to suitable and available sites for the permanent housing of the Oireachtas, including the probable expense and time involved in the acquisition and conversion to this purpose of the old Parliament House in College Green.”

Toisc gur ainmnigh Dáil Éireann an 27adh Iúl mar lá is déanaí chun tuarasgábháil d’fháil ón gCoiste níor eirigh leis an gCoiste ceist an áitribh shealadaigh do leir-bhreithniú agus dá bhrí sin ní féidir leo aon mhola do dhéanamh i dtaobh slí fháil go sealadach.

Cathaoirleach an Choiste.
