AGREEING TO RATE FOR 1927-28. ~--------~--------------~~-------------------------

The meeting was specially summoned to consider the figures

in Rate Estimate for next financial year and to agree to Rate

f or general and separate char ges for this per iod.

In connection with this matter letter as read from Mr.

P. Higgins, secretary, Gorey District Executive of the Farmers'

Union, asking that a deputation of members of the Faxmers' Union

of Gorey and other districts should be received by the County

Council.

On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. Sean o 'Byrne ,

it was decided to receive the deputation and to limit it to two

speakers as provided by the Standing Orders of the Council.

Mr. Higgins said that the deputation attended the meeting on

the eve of the striking of the rate for 1927, to endeavour to

persuade the Council to reduce the rates and strike the 10 est rate

possible. The farmers were not in a position to meet or pay a high

rate for several reasons. Same years ago the British Government,

through the exertions of the Irish Parliamentary party, passed

an Act Which kept foreign cattle from Caning into the P 1 ....,1' tlsh Isles


SUch was not the case at present, and the Brit ish maxkets V' ere

flooded ith cattle from allover the world. This considerably

reduced the price of Irish cattle, and if a farmer took his

stock to a fair he did not kno hether he could dispose of them

or not. If he had to dispose of them he ould have to do so I

at a sacrifice price. The grain crop this year had been a failure.

oat s opened at 9s a barrel and gradually increased by 3d and 6d but

the highest price was only lo/6d per barrel, and the farmer had to

have a very good sample to get that price. The farmers Who were

engaged in the production of oats were well a ar e of the cost of

production. The barley crop was almost extinct, except something

could be done by the Irish Government or the Ch~nbers of Commerce.

It opened at 19/6d per barrel and 1;'ent down to l7/6d hile some of

the gro ers could not dispose of the crop and they had to sell it at

16/- a barrel to same of their better-off neighbours. Potatoes also

fetChed a very small price . In Gorey they ere sold at 9/- a barrel

of 24 stone and only a few weeks ago, hen there was a big market,

they were sold at 8/-, and in a number of cases the owners brought X

them home again. unless some consideration as given to the rate

payers they would not be able to pay. The deputation did not CO .• 1e

before the meeting to try to intimidate the CounCil in any way , or to

say that they would not pay the rate .hen it Was struck. There

ere, ho ever, '11any persons .ho could not pay even though they ere

illing to do so. In conclusion he asked the meeting to consider , carefully the rate they ere going to strike,because every member of

the CounCil kne well the position of the farmers and the ratepayers,

and was arare of thei:;' inability to pay a high rate.

Mr. • E. poole, Ballyowen, Gorey, another member of the

deputation said that Mr. Higgins omitted to mention one of the great-

est losses of all in the North of the County - the fall in the price

of sheep. They ere down 15/- a head, and the only redeeming feature

they had in the north of the county was the beet crop. They ould

be all grateful for a reduct ion as agticul ture as very hard hit, and

the farmer's purse \' " 2S Only a cla.sp at the present time. The labouring


man as as much affected as the farmer , and bet een Gorey and

Craaniord he could point out several farms upon mich no men

ere kept, hile the 0 ners were trying to set the farms at a

very 10 price .

The Chairman said he could assure the deput2tion that the

Council was fully conscious of the necessity of keeping the rates

as low as possible. The Oouncil had al ays ~ept that fact before

1 t . Last year they effected a reduction of 3i-d in the £' , and the

Council also succeeded in reducing the overfiraft in the bank by

£10,000. He could assure the deputation that there ould be a

reduction this year, and as far as Gorey as concerned there ould

be a very substantial reduction.

Mr . Sean O'Byrne proposed:- "Tha.t as agreed to by the Co .

Council last year , and as recornraended by the Finance Committee ,

a, rate representing one half-peru1Y in the £, be adopted by the

Council for tourist development in accordance ith the provisions

of Section 67 of the Local Government Act, 1925".

Mr . p . BYrne seconded.

Mr . ]):)yle pointed out the Council had decided last year that

they ould agree to this rate if the finances of the Council ould

allo It as plain that the finances of the County ere not in a

flourishing condition and the statement made by the deputation from

the Farmers ' Union proved that the Country as not in a position to

bear any further impost .

r . Barry, of the TaJrist Association, ho as present,

addressed the meeting, and answered various queries .

A letter under date 28th April, 1926, was r~ad from the Co .

Wexford Tourist Association suggesting that a Committee of four

deputation from Hauliers of Ca~olin and Ferns Districts

would be heard.

Mr. James Kenny, Effernogue, Ferns, no acted as principal

spokesman on behalf of the hauliers in attendance handed in the

follo ~ on their behalf:-

"on behalf of the hauliers of the Enn1scortby district we

beg to put our position before you as shortly and as conoisely as

possible. Take one mile at lOd per yard. We are hard pressed to

run six journeys per day; No haulier is able to bring more than

5 yds in the six , journeys that ould ork out at 4/2d per day.

No take 2 miles per day that would be four journeys each day. It

is considered a good horse that ill have 18 cwts two miles four

times in the day. That ould work out at 5/- per day.

"Now for three miles: it must be admitted that three journeys

per day ould be a hard day's ork for any horse. You Will observe

that ould ork out at 6/- per day.

"You will see by the above that our grievance is genuine and

e hope that you will consider it favourably:

"Signed:- James Kenny, Effernogue: Rob rt Klnsella, Ferns,

Patrick Nolan, Coolatore; Richard Sinnott, John Brien, Anthony Doyle;

andre Redmond; John ])::)yle; andre DOyle. "

Mr. Ennis, Assistant Surveyor, stated that practically all

the hauliers ere in his district. He considered their average

earnings would be from 6/6d to 7/6d per day. Laterly he found trouble

in getting men to take haulage. Some of them had sold their horses

. and did not re9lace them.

Mr. P. Byrne said there ere 13 or 14 of these hauliers in his

district. He often saw them going to Clologue Quarry at 7.15 in

the morning. They ere in consequence of the distance they lived ~

from their ork only aSo'\ft9 to cover 16 miles haulage ~n the day

and ere only able to earn at the outSide 7/6d per day ~ out of this

they had to keep horse and cart and support their families. The

Council could realise that the men had a real grievance.

"With reference to your letter of the 14th instant transmi ttUlg

PRIMARY SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME . =======_==== __ = ________ s

The following letter under date 21st January, 1927, (F. 13080) as read from the Department of Education:-

"With reference to your comnunication dated 18th ultimo,

enclosing tentative scheme under above, I a~ directed to inform you

that this Department is of opinion that a valuation of £75 is at

variance in the spirit and in the letter ith the principle

underlying the aFard of these Scholarships, which are intended

primarily to benefit the children of parents of limited means.

It is suggested therefore that your CounCil consider the propriety

of reducing the valuation to £50. In the exoerience of the

repartment this figure would be regarded as the maximum for a

fairly large family, with a graduated scale for a~aller families •

. It is noted (par 2.) that right of competition is confined

to children of parents residing in the Rural Districts. In this

connection, I am to enquire hether the rate for tllese Scholarships

is levied over the entire County including the Urban Districts, and

if so, in what n1rcunstances your Council propose that their

scholarships and Bursaries under this Scheme shall be tenable only.

by pupilS declared eligible under this. head.

The proposal (par9) to r~fund expenses to aly6andidates ho

attend the examination is not in accordance with regulat ion 12 (b)

of the official scho'ne, and it is feared tha.t the proposal might


result in the holesale presentation of candidates ith

no obvious chance of gaining an a ard".

IIRegarding the proposal to adopt the 5th standard in

Irish, I am to say for your information that the revised

syllabus ( a copy of hich was recently sent to you) is

based on the ne Primary Schools t Program-TIe and has been

adopted without modification by all Councils having Sci18mes

operative in 1927. It is regretted that a 10 er standard in

this subj ect cannot be accepted".

Proposed by the Chairman seconded by Mr. Hall:-

"That the suggestions of the Department of Education

containpd in their letter No.F.1308o under date 21st Janu3ry ,

1927, re Primary Scholarship Scheme be adopted, ith the

exception of the suggestion relative to refund of expenditure

in attending examination. In this matter the decision of

this Council is that all candidates ho secure not less than

thirty-tlrree and one third of total marks allotted to the

six subj ects in hich they are exal'nined be ref'Jnded the necessary

expenditure incurred by them in attending the Examination".

--~-----~------Before the conclusion of the meeting • Hayes said that the

condit1on in Which the people of Corramacorra were living was

intolerable and to carry out anything in the nature of hat was

suggested by the Roads Committee was beyond their power. They were o'

only small holders in a miserable condition. To his mind it was

impossible for the people there to do what as recommended by the

steps to have the road constructed.

ould not be regulax. The resolution adopted by tte Roads Canmi ttre

asked the people concerned how far they were prepared to go to meet

the Council in the matter, and he thought they should ~ait a

reply to that.

M;r;. Boggan said that the people could do a considerable amount

of the rough work at very little expense.

The discussion ended.
