On and after the appointed day there shall be in Ireland an
Irish Parliament, consisting of his Majesty the King and two
Houses, namely, the Irish Senate and the Irish House of
Commons.

Notwithstanding the establishment of the Irish Parliament, or
anything contained in this Act, the supreme power and authority
of the Parliament of the United Kingdom shall remain unaffected
and undiminished over all persons, matters, and things within
his Majesty's dominions.

THE HOME RULE BILL (1912).
(THE GOVERNING CLAUSE.)

"If we conciliate Ireland, we can do nothing amiss; if we do
not we can do nothing well."

SYDNEY SMITH.

"The cry of disaffection will not, in the end, prevail against
the principle of liberty."

GRATTAN.
