Greater Dublin: extension of municipal boundaries

Abstract

During the last session I had the privilege of reading a paper dealing with the necessity for a general revaluation of the city, and I then intimated that closely connected with that subject was the extension of the municipal boundaries. I promised, with the permission of the society, to treat of that topic when an opportunity arose. It has been afforded me this evening, and I gladly avail of it. I must preface my remarks by saying that the contribution is entirely of a personal character, and that all the statistics and figures of which I availed, are those that are open to all who wish to study the Blue-books or accounts of the various townships and localities referred to.
