  • The arterial drainage of Ireland 

    Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)
    When I mention that a sum of #961,235 14s. 7d. has been expended upon Arterial Drainage in Ireland, and that the annual instalments paid in redemption of principal and interest amount to #31,944 9s. 8d., I think the ...
  • The effect of the war on Irish agriculture 

    Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1915)
    The subject of my address is not statistical. It is an attempt to show Irish farmers that as a result of the universal war prevailing in Europe we shall have in all probability a bad shortage of all kinds of provisions, ...
  • The example of Belgium: a possible effect of the war upon Ireland 

    Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1917)
    I have already in a previous address referred to the effect of the War upon Irish Agriculture, but I propose to notice some features of the Irish problem which I think have become more apparent since last year, and to ...
  • The extension to Ireland of the Arbitration Act, 1889 

    Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1912)
    Arbitration may perhaps be defined as the mode of settling disputes and adjusting difficulties by other tribunals than the ordinary law courts of a country. It would not serve any useful purpose to inquire into its ...
  • Facilities for investing in consols 

    Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1912)
    It is not my intention to go into the question of the National Debt as regards its origin; I propose to devote my time this evening to considering the manner in which dealings with the Consolidated Debt of Great Britain ...
  • The financial aspect of parliamentary private bill procedure 

    Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)
    The mode of conducting Parliamentary Inquiries into Private Bills relating to this country has been the subject of criticism for many years, and it has been brought before the public on many occasions, while it has ...
  • The government management of Indian railways 

    Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)
    I do not propose tonight to deal with the whole question of Indian Railways; it would be too wide a subject. I wish to refer to the recently published Report of Mr. Thomas Robertson, who was formerly Manager of the Great ...
  • The improvement of Dublin harbour 

    Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1912)
    I do not think, that it would serve any useful purpose to trace the early development of the Port. The fact is that for years all goods were carted through the streets to and from Kingsbridge, Amiens street, Westland ...
  • The industrial awakening of Ireland 

    Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1914)
    It is now ten years since Mr. Bailey in his Presidential address of 1903 took as his subject "Ireland since the Famine." I am inclined to think that we now stand in 1913 upon the threshold of another mighty change, the ...
  • International time 

    Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1913)
    In dealing with the subject of international time, I should like to state at once that I propose to deal with it in a popular style without any scientific terms, as I think that there have been some misunderstandings ...
  • Irish forestry and the Land Purchase Acts 

    Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1912)
    It is by no means a modern discovery that the presence or absence of timber seriously affects the temperature and climate of a country. It was well known before the Christian Era, and even in the Dark and Middle ages, ...
  • The practice of the Commercial Court 

    Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)
    I must preface my remarks upon this subject by stating that the Commercial Court to which I allude has no existence in Ireland, and therefore I am at a disadvantage in dealing with a system of judicial procedure with ...
  • The Report of the Vice-Regal Commission upon Irish Railways 

    Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1912)
    I confess that when it was suggested to me that I might undertake a paper on the Report of the Vice-regal Commission on Irish Railways, I hesitated very much before accepting the task. It was, I felt, practically ...
  • Weights and measures after the war 

    Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1917)
    In my judgment the United Kingdom will be successful in the present awful struggle, but the country will suffer great injury to many trades and manufactures. We shall also be liable for enormous debts contracted in ...
