Statistics extracted by John Kenny from the annual reports of the Commissioners [of National Education] relating to the profit and loss made by various agricultural schools in Ireland between 1864 and 1874. The statistics are followed by a statement by Kenny explaining that the dramatic reduction in profits, which occurred in 1869, was not limited to the Limerick Farm and did not result from Kenny’s neglect of his duties as superintendent but from an exceptionally wet winter followed by an extremely dry spring and summer. Attached to the statistics are copies of character references from District Inspector M. S. Seymour and R. Potterton of the Royal Hotel, Buxton, attesting to Kenny’s good character.

Resolution passed during a meeting held on 24 June 1878 between Stephen E. de Vere and J. G. Barry that Lord Emly be requested to wait upon the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland with reference to the model farm and school of Mungret. The school buildings are built on a large scale and in good repair, capable of accommodating 60 boarders and the school employs a staff of twelve but only contains six pupils, of whom just three are from county Limerick. The trustees have satisfied themselves of the failure of the institution and the consequent waste of public and private funds devoted to it and suggest an alternative plan by which the establishment might be made available for purposes of general (including agricultural) education. The Commissioners of National Education, in whose hands the management of the institution was vested under a lease from the trustees, have declined to accede to this suggestion and by letter dated 15 March 1878 gave notice to the trustees of surrender of the farm and premises on 29 September 1878. Where the Commissioners have failed, the trustees are unlikely to succeed, and they propose the school’s conversion into a middle place between the primary schools and collegiate institutions.
