LETTER FROM THE LIBERATOR.
Kilkenny, 25th October, 1846.
My dear Ray—It was at a late hour in the afternoon of yesterday that I was able to leave Fermoy, and, therefore, only reached Clonmel ; I left that town after the last Maas to-day, and remain here for to-night, and consequently cannot possibly attend the Association tomorrow, which I regret not a little. ” Among other things I am apprehensive lest any mistake should occur respecting what are called the Cork Resolutions.
” On that subject there has appeared, I presume, in the Southern Reporter of yesterday evening a letter of mine, and I should be exceedingly sorry if that letter was considered: my answer to the resolutions. It was intended to be little more than a complaint against the indefinite and indistinct nature of the resolutions themselves.
” My answer to the unwise request contained in those resolutions will, I trust, be ready on Monday week, the 2d November.
“I have not leisure to enter into any other topic’ though even if I had time I should scarcely be able to do so. My mind ought to be entirely absorbed with the pitiable and deplorable state of the people—aggravated as that state is by the inexplicable negligence of the Board of Works.
” What that Board is justly condemned for is this— that in many instances where the special sessions have acted under the Labour Rate Bill, and cheerfully passed presentments to a very considerable amount, in some instances no work, and in many instances very little of the works have been commenced. It would really be better if there had been no special sessions at all, because, by holding these sessions, immediate expectation of wages was held out to the people, and in their hunger they are irritated almost to madness by the delay and disappointment. “My mind is so full of this subject, that I cannot help adding that there is no excuse on the part of the Board of Works for this delay and disappointment. I must say it is a most gross neglect of duty on the part of that Board.
“I repeat, the conduct of the Board is quite inexcusable in reference to the baronies that have cheerfully passed presentments, because, in the first place, the Labour Rate Act gives unlimited credit for money to carry on such works. And in the second place, there is no danger of any money being lost, as the repayment is secured upon the entire property in the barony, the amount sought being in general one year’s poor law valuation, and the fee simple of the barony, worth forty years’ purchase at that rate, is pledged for the repayment of any monies to be expended by the Board under the Labour rate Act.
“I can scarcely restrain myself on this subject, and will say no more for the present than that things are in the most deplorable state that was ever yet even imagined.—Believe me to be, very faithfully yours,
“DANIEL O’Connell. ” T. M. Ray, Esq.”
FROM,House of Commons; CIVIL AVIATION. HL Deb 26 November 1946 vol 144 cc332-412
LORD STRABOLGI; I have flown with my wife for upwards of 50,000 miles. I made a voyage by Springbok Air Line to South Africa and back at the beginning of the year. I have been on several excursions to the Continent of Europe by air. I have flown across the Atlantic, across the North American Continent to Mexico, down Central America, right down the west coast of South America, across the Andes to Argentina, then back on the South Atlantic route to London by the British airline, by way of Rio de Janeiro, Port Natal, Dakar, and Lisbon. I have flown on American, Mexican, Czech, Dutch and British airlines. I want to say—and I am sure that this is the experience of everyone who has flown in foreign planes as well as our own—that in such matters as working efficiency, care of passengers, general excellence of equipment and accommodation, the British airlines are streets ahead of every other.
