Nevertheless, he declared, he dicl not despair. He hoped for what he termed an improvement would only come when it became clear to the Irish that the. people of Britain would never consent to any extreme demands or “when the Irish real, ised that no other party in Britain was ready to give Ireland any more than the present Government was prepared to give.” He added that: “He thought the practical good sense of the Irish r people would re-assort itself; and also that they would accept the present Bill.”
