§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILL (Donegal, S.)I To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland how many students of the Queen's College, Cork, submitted themselves at the examination in 1904 for first and second arts in the Royal University; of these how many are 39 holders of prizes, exhibitions, or scholarships in the Queen's College; how many failed to pass the examination; how many obtained first-class honours, second-class honours, first-class exhibitions, and second-class exhibitions; and how many of those who failed to pass these examinations in the Royal University were holders of prizes, exhibitions, or scholarships in the Queen's College, Cork.
§ MR. SWIFT MACNEILLTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will state how many students of the Queen's College, Cork, holders of prizes, exhibitions, and scholarships in that institution, have failed during the last five years to pass the ordinary examinations in the arts course of the Royal University of Ireland; and how many were holders of scholarships, prizes, and exhibitions in the Queen's College, Cork, in the subjects in which they failed to pass these examinations.
(Answered by Mr. Atkinson.) I am informed by the president of the Queen's College, Cork, that no record is kept of the students who present themselves for examination at the Royal University or elsewhere outside the college. The function of the college is considered to have ended when it has supplied a student with the instruction furnished in the classes for which he has entered. The inquiries raised in these two Questions cannot, therefore, be answered.
