Some considerations on the Industrial Remuneration Conference, 1885
Bastable, C. F.
There has been an increasing tendency of late years to give greater prominence to social as opposed to political questions, and to bring more distinctly into notice the various plans suggested for social reform. One evidence of this changed feeling is to be found in the meeting of the Industrial Remuneration Conference. The aim of the originator of that conference was to bring before the public the opinions of the most widely separated schools of thought, as to what is known on the continent as the ?Social Question?.

Baronial guarantees under ?The Tramways Act, 1883?.
Bailey, William F.
Anyone who has watched the progress of business at the last spring assizes in Ireland, must have been struck by the interest exhibited in, and the time and attention devoted to the question of the construction of tramways in accordance with the provisions of the
Tramways Act of 1883. No sooner was the act passed than many energetic individuals set themselves to the promotion of numberless schemes for opening up the more inaccessible parts of the country by the construction of tramways and light railways. Many of these
schemes had little substance in them, and were apparently started more with a view to the profit of the promoters than to the good of the public.

Statistics of the county infirmaries, Ireland
MacDonnell, Hercules
I venture to bring the subject of the County Infirmaries of Ireland before your Society, from a desire to place on record the large amount of medical and surgical relief afforded to the poor in Ireland by these institutions, the comparatively low rate at which this relief is administered, as well as some other points of interest which are now for the first time brought before the public in a form as complete as at present.

Notes on the statistics of waste lands in Ireland
Grimshaw, Thomas Wrigley
In consequence of many published statements by public speakers, newspaper writers, essayists, and writers in reviews, with reference to the relative amount of Irish land which is out of use, I have thought it advisable to make this matter the subject of a communication to this Society. The tenor of the statements just referred to is that the land utilised in Ireland for agricultural purposes is gradually decreasing, and that waste lands are as steadily increasing; in fact that the land of Ireland is steadily going back to bog and waste, and that Irish agriculture is steadily decaying, as compared with agriculture elsewhere.
