For a prime $p$, let $\hat{F}_{p}$ be a finitely generated free pro-$p$-group of rank at least $2$. We show that the second discrete homology group $H_{2}(\hat{F}_{p},\mathbb{Z}/p)$ is an uncountable $\mathbb{Z}/p$-vector space. This answers a problem of A. K. Bousfield.

A profinite group $G$ of finite cohomological dimension with (topologically) finitely generated closed normal subgroup $N$ is studied. If $G$ is pro-$p$ and $N$ is either free as a pro-$p$ group or a Poincaré group of dimension 2 or analytic pro-$p$, it is shown that $G/N$ has virtually finite cohomological dimension ${\rm cd}(G)\,{-}\,{\rm cd}(N)$. Some other cases when $G/N$ has virtually finite cohomological dimension are also considered.

If $G$ is profinite, the case of $N$ projective or the profinite completion of the fundamental group of a compact surface is considered.
