the significance
of what
we
have
just
done.
We
have
passed
the first
act
by
an
Irish
Parlia-
ment for one
hundred
and
twenty-three
years.
Ithink we may
ail thank
Provi-

a
nilestone
in

nafion’s histesys

done
what
many
generations
of
Irishmen lost their lives in endegavouring
to be able
to do, and may
all
thank
God
we have lived to see
this day’’.

and
generally
Turkish
fears
of aggres-

con-
ditions i times of peace
and that the Al-
