members brought up the Irish question.
Major william Redmond. member for
East Clare. brother Of the Nationalist

been in bitter opposition to most of the
new ministers. but that he had come
to the conclusion that an understanding

provinces. the speaker said, were in
pretty close contact and II had been re-

the valor Of the Irish troops and said
there was only one thing TO do. and that
was TO back up the men at the front.

mond, that some change between Ire
land and the rest OF the United King
dom and between one part OF Ireland
and the other should take place. One
thing that would influence the people
