§ MR. JOHN REDMOND (Waterford)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, in view of the fact that there is only one Roman Catholic professor in the medical school of the Queen's College, Cork, it is intended to appoint a Roman Catholic to the professorship now vacant; and whether it is intended that this appointment shall be filled by a physician, as in the case of every other medical school in the United Kingdom.
§ MR. ATKINSON (for Mr. G. W. BALFOUR)I have no information as to the religious denominations of the occupants of medical chairs in the Queen's College, Cork. As regards the remainder of the question I can only say that the legitimate claims of all candidates for the vacant chair will be fully considered.
