QUARTERLY MEETING KERRY PRIS0NERS. DEMAND FOR THEIR RELEASE.
Mr James Woulfe presided over the quarterly meeting which on this occasion was held in the boardroom instead of the Courthouse as hitherto. There was a fairly large attendance of members.
SURVEYOR’S REPORT. From the report of the Co. Surveyor, Mr. Singleton Goodwin, who was in attendance, the roads were in fairly good order, and in a good number of cases the supplies of materials were fairly forward. He should, however, warn them to be prepared for a much heavier outlay owing to the increase in prices both in labour and material. On the motion to proceed with the consideration of new works.
Mr John Trant objected on the grounds that there was a resolution in the minutes of twelve months ago adjourning the consideration of all new works until after the war. A heated discussion followed pro and con, but eventually on the Assistant Clerk, Mr. Thomas O’Connell, producing the minutes, it was seen that the consideration of new works had been only adjourned for 12 months, and that period had elapsed since the passing of the resolution.
Mr. J. O’Connell moved that a fence be made on the road leading from Lixnaw to Kilfeighney church, 120 perches at 4s. per perch.
Mr. W. McCarthy seconded. Mr. P. Trant objected on the ground that the fence would be of no public utility, or necessity and that it would be practically only for the proposer’s own benefit. He (Mr. O’Connell) was a comfortable man and well able to make a fence for himself if he wanted it. He (Mr. Trant) asked to have the County Surveyor’s report read in connection with the application. The Clerk read from the report:— “This fence has been made by the occupier of the land, and as it is for his own benefit I don’t see why the district should be called upon to pay for it;”
Mr. Trant—After that do what you like, but I propose that the application be thrown out.
Mr. Kearney—And I second you. At this time- a large number of the members had left the room, but Mr. Trant said he was satisfied to have-the question put to a division, and this having been done the application was thrown out by 9 votes to 3 .
Other applications were rejected on technical grounds, agreements for the land not having been signed, these including an application by Mr. P Trant . M.C.C, for the making of a new road from the main road from Tralee to Listowel at Kilshenane to the cemetery, which it was admitted was very necessary.
A POPULAR CONTRACTOR.
Mr. E . Mulvihill moved that Mr Cornelius Singleton contractor, be allowed £100 compensation for delay occasioned in his not being allowed to start work in making a new line of road and bridge on same between Jas. Mahony’s gate, Leitrim; and Moriarty’s cross, Tullamore.
Mr. J. Sheehy had much pleasure in seconding the motion. Mr. Singleton was a most popular and able contractor who always gave the public the greatest possible satisfaction and had suffered at least the amount claimed for him and should be compensated. The County Surveyor reported that Mr. Singleton had been delayed for 3 years, and in the meantime material went up very considerably. His claim was a reasonable one.
Mr. J. Lynch—We’re all satisfied. The application was passed unanimously subject to sanction.
THE KERRY PRISONERS .
Mr. J. Barrett said he had a resolution to propose which he felt certain would meet with the sympathy and support of the meeting. It was:— ” Resolved—That we the members of the Listowel Rural District Council respectfully ask the Government to release or bring to trial at once ; the Kerrymen arrested in connection with the recent rebellion, and especially do we demand the release of Mr. Thomas Slattery and Mr. Thomas J. McCarthy, Tralee , gentlemen of unblemished character and high social standing. Neither of those gentlemen no more than several of the other Kerrymen took any part in the movement, and we, therefore, ask those in authority to order the release of those men or otherwise; their immediate trial. “We further ask our Clerk to forward a copy of this resolution to Mr. Samuel, Sir John Maxwell, and our Parliamentary representative , Mr. M. J. Flavin.” Mr. Daniel Mangan had much pleasure in seconding the resolution so ably prospered by his colleague, Mr. Barrett, and in doing so said it was a terrible hardship on men like Mr . Slattery, a big merchant, and Mr. McCarthy, to be interned indefinitely without knowing for what. The other members of the Council heartily concurred with the terms of the resolution which was passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned.
