§ MR. MAURICE HEALYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether any regulations have been made with regard to the retirement of the Professors of the Queen's Colleges in Ireland, in compliance with the recommendations of the Commission appointed for that purpose; and, if so, whether such regulations apply in any case to the existing occupiers of Professorial Chairs?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURThe regulations proposed by the Government with regard to the retirement of Professors of Queen's Colleges were notified to the College authorities some time about Easter, when it appears the colleges were out of session, and the college 1333 authorities have not favoured the Government with any expression of their views in the matter. These regulations have been framed so as to secure the preservation of the rights of existing Presidents and Professors who held office before October 10th, 1893.
