I am of the latter, and everyone knows it.

But I should think myself a traitor to my country if I did not answer the summons to this gathering, for it is clear to me that the Bill which we support to-day will be for the good of Ireland and that we shall be stronger with it than without it.

I am not accepting the Bill in advance.

We may have to refuse it.

We are here only to say that the voice of Ireland must be listened to henceforward.
Let us unite and win a good Act from the British; I think it can be done.
