HC Deb 29 March 1860 vol 157 c1496
MR. MAGUIRE

said, he rose to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether he has received the Rejoinder of the Catholic Archbishops and Bishops of Ireland to his Reply to their Memorial on the subject of Education; and whether, if he has received such Rejoinder, he is prepared to lay it upon the Table at the earliest opportunity? He also wished to ask, Whether, as the Irish Members were anxious to return to Ireland for the Easter holidays, the further consideration of the Irish Reform Bill will not be put off until after the holidays?

MR. CARDWELL

said, he had received the Document referred to, and would readily lay it on the Table. With regard to the second reading of the Irish Reform Bill, there seemed no prospect of reading it a second time before Easter; and, therefore, he proposed to have it brought forward on Friday, the 20th of April.
