Artefacts (Irish Parliament)
- Question
- To ask the hon. Member for North Devon, representing the House of Commons Commission what information the Commission has on whether works of art, furniture, books, records and other artefacts known to be within the ownership or custody of the House were originally owned by or displayed in the Parliament of Ireland prior to the Act of Union 1801; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
I have checked with those responsible in the House for looking after the works of art, furniture, books and records. There is no evidence that any material which the House currently owns, or has custody of, came originally from the Parliament of Ireland. The remaining records of the Parliament of Ireland perished when the Irish Public Record Office was destroyed by fire in 1922.
