Sir, in reference to a communication made by my Right
Hon. Friend last year to this House, and in refe-
rence to the opening statement he made in the
grant to Maynooth, I wish to ask him whether
it is his intention to propose any further plan
of academical education in Ireland, and if so,
whether he could, before going into Committee, or im-
mediately afterwards, state the simple outline of the
schemes, which he is inclined to propose?
sir R. PEEL—I am much obliged to my Noble Friend
for having given me notice of this question, and I beg
to
state THAT IT IS THE INTENTION OF HER
MAJESTY'S GOVERNMENT TO PROPOSE
FURTHER MEASURES WITH, REGARD TO
ACADEMICAL EDUCATION IN IRELAND. It
was my intention to proceed with ' th'l- Bill now
before the House, and to bring it to .a close
before any other business was gone into, with the excep-
tion of that of which I have given notice for Friday •
but I will undertake to say with respect to the measuresearin
which we intend to propose, having the same bearing
that at present under discussion—l will undertakebae-
s
be-
