<P> Some brothers in Cork chose to remain under the original Presentation rule and continued to be known as Presentation Brothers, a separate congregation but also recognising Edmund Rice as its Founder . </P> <P> The congregation of Irish Christian Brothers spread to Liverpool and other parts of England . These new ventures were not always immediately successful . Two brothers had been sent to Gibraltar to establish an institute in 1835 . However, despite initial successes they left in August 1837 on account of disagreements with the local priests . In 1878 the Brothers returned to the then Crown colony of Gibraltar . The school eventually flourished supplying education to the twentieth century . The "Line Wall College" was noted in 1930 for the education that it supplied to "well to do" children . </P> <P> Similarly, a mission to Sydney, Australia in 1842 failed within a couple of years . Brother Ambrose Treacy established a presence in Melbourne, Australia in 1868, in 1875 in Brisbane, Australia and in 1876 a school was commenced in Dunedin, New Zealand . In 1875 a school was opened in St. John's, Newfoundland . In 1886 the Pope requested that they consider setting up in India, and a province of the congregation was established there . </P> <P> In 1900 came the invitation to establish houses in Rome, and in 1906 schools were established in New York City . In 1940 Iona College was founded in New York, as a Higher Education College, facilitating poorer high school graduates to progress to a College education . </P>
