longing to the Eoyal Irish Academy, with such additions 

 as may be'hereafter made to them, and the cabinets, glass 

 cases, &c., in which they are contained, to be conveyed to 

 the Lords of the Committee of Council on Education, to be 

 retained in Ireland on behalf of the public. 



" 2. Pit and proper accommodation to be at all times provided in a 

 public building for the preservation and exhibition to the 

 public of the collection of antiquities, and for the meetings 

 of the Royal Irish Academy ; but no stipulation can be 

 entered into permanently to appropriate particular apart- 

 ments in the new Museum building to these objects. 



'' 3. The charge and custody of the collection of antiquities to be 

 entrusted to the Royal Irish Academy, subject to such 

 regulations and special directions as may from time to time 

 be prescribed by the Lords of the Committee of Council on 

 Education, 



*' 4. The funds required to alter and adapt the apartments in the 

 Science and Art Museum for the reception of the collection, 

 to furnish the requisite means for the preservation and ex- 

 hibition of the Museum, and to pay the salaries of additional 

 servants, to be provided by the Lords of the Committee of 

 Council on Education, by an estimate to be submitted to 

 Parliament. 



"My Lords are of opinion that it would not be conducive to the 

 object which all parties have in view, in making this 

 arrangement, that express stipulations should be entered in- 

 to with the Royal Irish Academy on detailed points of 

 management; but the Members of that Society may rest 

 assured that it will be the desire of the Lords of the Com- 

 mittee of Council on Educat ion so to exercise the general 

 control which they must retain over all collections exhibited 

 at the public expense as to leave the Royal Irish Academy 

 as unfettered in the charge and management of the Museum 

 as circumstances will allow."
