§ MR. DALY (Monaghan, S.)I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether he is aware that a large number of the county councils in Ireland have passed resolutions urging upon the Government the immediate necessity of establishing a Roman Catholic University in Ireland; and when he will bring in a Bill to settle this long-standing grievance of the Roman Catholics of Ireland?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR, Manchester, E.)My attention has been called to the fact that the Irish county councils have passed a large number of resolutions about Home Rule, University education, political prisoners, coercion, and other matters which seem but remotely connected with roads and bridges. As regards the second part of the Question, I fear I am not in a position to add anything to the answer I gave yesterday.
§ CAPTAIN DONELANBut will any steps be taken to deal with this question during the present Parliament?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURYI have nothing to add to the statement I have already made.
