§ MR. P. M'HUGHI beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he can inform the House whether a Measure for the establishment and endowment of a Catholic University in Ireland will be introduced by the Government this Session: and has he taken steps to ascertain the views of the Roman Catholic Hierarchy of Ireland, and of the Parliamentary representatives of Ireland, as to the establishment of an Irish Roman Catholic University; and if not, will he be good enough to inform the House what practical steps, if any, he proposes to take during the present Session to meet the claims of Irish Catholics in regard to University education?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.I do not think it is desirable for me in the shape of an answer to a question to add anything to what I said the other night rather fully in debate upon this subject.
