DURING talks with mem

bers of the British-Cabinet on the future of Ireland, Irish.. spokesmen have re-emphasised, the assurance that the Govern ment or people of Eirt will never take action or help any..other country to take action against Britain.

It has been proposed that, in preparation for a plebiscite to decide the future of Northern Ireland's autonomy, powers now held by Britain over the Six Counties should be controlled by a commission on which Eire and the North would both be re- presented.

1 discussed the problem of the neutrality of Ireland, now caus- ing so much concern in Britain. with an authority whose views fairly represent those of the Irish spokesmen,

"The transference of Britain's power, and agreement to hold a plebiscite, would in fact settle once and for all the differences between Britain and the Irish. because this is the only remain- ing item of dispute." he said.
