21. That the Reproductive Employment Committee be requested to continue
their labours, and be empowered to call meetings, similar to the
present, at any time during the session of Parliament, if such shall
appear to be necessary; or to take such other steps as may appear
expedient for the carrying out the objects of the meeting.
22. That the secretaries be requested to communicate with those landed
proprietors who have been unable to attend the meeting to-day, with a
view of obtaining their support to the above resolutions.
23. That an address be presented to her most gracious Majesty, the
Queen, setting forth in the most respectful, but, at the same time, the
most urgent manner, that the present state of provisions in Ireland is
inadequate to support the people of that country; that the resources of
the landed proprietors, gentry, and merchants, are altogether unequal to
meet the present emergency; and that we, therefore, pray that her
Majesty may be graciously pleased to direct her Parliament, immediately
on their assembling, to take into consideration the speediest and most
effectual means of importing provisions into Ireland, so as to provide,
as far as possible, the necessary food for the people.
