HC Deb 09 March 1904 vol 131 c582
MR. HAYDEN (Roscommon, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland during how much of the year is the President of the Queen's College, Cork, in residence; whether his absence from Cork is in violation of the regulations on the subject contained in the charter of the college; and why the regulations in force in the Queen's Colleges of Galway and Belfast are not observed in Cork.

MR. WYNDHAM

The President of the Queen's College in Cork, who is at the present, and has been for some time, under medical treatment, has made it a rule to be in Cork during term except when public business connected with the National Board of Education, or business connected with the Royal University, or his health, has obliged him to be elsewhere. His absence from Cork is not in violation of regulations.

MR. FLYNN

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this President spends most of his time at Munich?

MR. WYNDHAM

No, Sir.

MR. FLYNN

It is the fact.
