It is true that any criticism of Irish affairs is rendered difficult by the delicate state of the present position in Ireland, and those who sit on these benches are the very last people in the world to put that position into graver jeopardy than already exists, It is to the advantage of the present Government that, by a super blunder in every walk of life and every establishment of national affairs, they manage to create by their mistakes so serious a position, so grave a Crisis in National and International Affairs, that all criticism, all opposition is disarmed and is liable, if persisted in, to result in injury to the national cause.
