§ MR. D. KILBRIDE (Galway, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (1) whether his attention has been directed to the numbers of students attending Queen's College, Galway, and to the extent to which that college serves as an educational endowment for Ulster students; (2) whether he is aware that while nearly 90 per cent. of Belfast Queen's College students are natives of Ulster, less than 50 per cent. of Galway Queen's College students are natives of Connaught; that out of 54 students in arts in Galway 30 are Presbyterians; and (3) whether he will advise such alterations in the statutes 518 of Queen's College, Galway, as will enable the Roman Catholic students of Con-naught to have a share in the advantages and endowment of that college without incurring the censure of their church?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI have not been able, in the short time since this Question was placed on the Paper, to verify the figures quoted in the second paragraph. As regards the third paragraph, the issue raised is one that would require much consideration, and I should not feel myself justified in expressing an opinion upon it.
