An early and important development of the Irish situation is anticipated as the outcome of informal conversations between the members of the Irieb Hierarchy, exploring peace proposals. The conversations have culminated in a long heeting of Bishops in Dublin to-day, presided over by Cardinal Logue, and attended by the Vatican representative, Monsignor Luzio. It is reliably learned that a marked degree of optimism characterised the resolution adopted. Fresh proposals largely based on the Government's declarations of wife policy towards the Irregulars, have been tentatively drawn up, and have been considered by De Valera and Austin Stack. The peace at mosphere in Dublin is described as more hopeful than at any time since the Irregular opposition began: ■nd the arrest of Liam Lyneb strengthens the belief that organised opposition is on the ave of collapse.

It is understood that the meeting of Bishops in Dublin yester day evening drew up a petition to Monsignor Lazio, as a result of which it has been arranged that the Papal envoy will interview Mr. Cosgrave today. The petition may well be regarded as desire by the Irish people, through their ecclesiastical leaders, for an early peace.
