THOUGHT: The problem right now is all the judgment….from the right and from the left. It’s fine to express opinions and disagree, but labeling other people as evil or meaningless is awful. It’s so damaging. It’s hard to repair a breach when someone on the other side is using dynamite. –

KNOCKANURE
A special meeting of the branch was convened on Sunday, 25th inst. Mr P Collins presided.
Previous to the holding of meeting, a deputation waited on Dr O’Leary, P.P, requesting him to act as intermediary between some labourers and a farmer. Labourers’ claims were put before the Rev Doctor who directly put them to the farmer. The farmer asked time to consider proposals and consult his children. It is to be hoped an amicable understanding will be arrived at, and by a little give and take at both sides all unpleasant friction will be avoided as the kindliest relations always subsisted between this fanner and his labourers.
Mr M J Nolan, Co C, addressed the meeting. He said—my friends, as you are aware I have come to help you in any way possible to bring to a successful issue this question of direct labour on some of our Kerry roads. Such of the Council as were in favour of the scheme were not able to get as many roads as they wished at present. However, he was sure that if these roads were worked wisely and economically they would ere long have a more comprehensive one. He introduced the matter on the last board day at Listowel, so that all the labour associations in Kerry would call special meetings and be prepared to back up their claim in direct labour by a strong representation on that day. He would recommend these labour associations to call on their respective Co C’s to be present on that date, also a few delegates from each branch to be prepared to give evidence if allowed by Inspector of inquiry. He thought it would be desirable also to employ a solicitor, for should delegates not be heard the solicitor can at least say he speaks on behalf of the labour element in Kerry. By such association in Kerry subscribing say a shilling or two, which they can very well afford, any solicitor will be willing to give his services. He will himself contribute his portion, and if they want to be successful they must also do their part. These roads are at present in the hands of small farmers who, if they only expended half the energy on their farm as they do on the roads, their condition would, he was sure, be much better improved.
Mr Jas C O’Sullivan said some of the roads were in a deplorably wretched condition, and any scheme which did away with the present neglectful one would be welcome indeed. He said it was no unusual thing to see contractors before visiting day going along their respective roads uprooting the soling stones so us to deceive the eyes of the cycle-riding inspector and filling the cavities with the clay taken from the skirting.
Mr P O’Connor, D.C. gave an account of his first experience at the Boardroom.

TO THE EDITOR.
Knockanure , 25:11 :’05.
Dear Mr. Editor,—I observe from a report appearing in this week’s "Kerry People’," of the Barraduff branch of the U.I.L . of which I am a member, that my name is omitted, as one of those present on the occasion of the passing of the resolution of sympathy on the death of Fr. O’Flaherty. Not alone was I present on the occasion, but when the resolution of deep sympathy was carried in respect to the death of our lamented parish priest, I remarked as follows —" I should be one of the first to express deep sorrow at the death of the Rev. Fr O’Flaherty, because in the old days, when it was considered to be a crime to be connected with the National movement , that great priest was President and I was Secretary of that movement, and at the time we soldiered together in the National ranks."
It does seem strange that my name should be, omitted from the report, but I certainly cannot blame you, Mr. Editor as I am sure you inserted the report communicated to you
Yours faithfully,
DENIS HEALY , evicted tenant.
