The plan for Ireland ought to be produced by the government of the day.

I think any man who lays down a firm proposition that all is well, or any man who says that all is ill--either of those two men is probably wrong.

What I wish to insist upon is, not that that system was good, but that the statesman who undertook to overthrow it, should have had something to put in its place.
