§ MR. MURPHYsaid, he wished to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether Her Majesty's Government intend to take any further steps with regard to the proposed Catholic University for Ireland?
THE EARL OF MAYOSir, the correspondence which has been laid upon the table of this House has shown that the conditions which Her Majesty's Government thought necessary to append to the granting of a Charter to a Roman Catholic University have been declined by the right rev. Prelates who were deputed to act in the matter on the part of the Roman Catholic hierarchy of Ireland. Under these circumstances, therefore, we have come to the conclusion that the matter must be considered entirely at an end.
