The Council of Ireland is to be composed of two
delegations consisting of all the members from the excluded area and a delegation of an equal number from the Irish Parliament. This Council by a majority of votes of each of the delegations might (a) pass private Bills affecting both the included and excluded area ; or (6) recom- mend the extension to the excluded area of Acts of the Irish Parlia- ment ; (c) agree to the inclusion under the Home Rule Act of the whole of Ireland subject to the assent of the majority of the voters in the excluded area ; (d) make recommendations upon Irish ques- tions, including the amendment of the Home Rule Act. The Government consider -that the financial proposals of the Home Rule Act are unsatisfactory and ought to be considered. A Speaker's Conference is to deal with Irish electoral reform.
