§ MR. C. J. O'DONNELL (Newington, Walworth)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the Graduates' Association of the Queen's College at Belfast, in public meeting at Wellington Hall, Belfast, joined itself to the protest of the General Assembly of the Irish Presbyterian Church against the separation of Belfast from the Royal University, and in condemnation of a merely local University, as entirely hostile to the wishes and interests of Ulster and Belfast; whether he is aware that this meeting was presided over by two elected senators of the Royal University and attended by a number of the most influential laity; and whether he will lay upon the Table the Resolutions of this meeting of graduates, who are deeply concerned by the change in the value of their degrees.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Resolutions referred to in the Question have already received due publicity through the medium of the Press, and I do not propose to lay them on the Table.
§ MR. C. J. O'DONNELLIs it necessary in order to set up a Catholic University in Dublin that the right hon. Gentleman should run against the whole Presbyterian opinion?
§ *MR. SPEAKERThat is a matter of argument.
