HC Deb 24 March 1890 vol 342 c1676
MR. LEA (Londonderry, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the death of the late Rev. Dr. Withers has deprived Magee College of representation upon the Senate of the Royal University; and that Magee College is the only one of the four colleges recognised by the University without such representation; and whether, having regard to the relations of this college to the University, and the number of matriculated students of the University in attendance upon its classes, he proposes to continue its representation upon the Senate, by the appointment to the existing vacancy of a member of the Magee College Faculty?

MR. MADDEN

The matter referred to by my hon. Friend has been already engaging the attention of the Irish Government, and is still under consideration.
