Salmon fisheries in Ireland and the report of the Irish Inland Fisheries Commission

Scottish Private Bill Legislation in working
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)Were it not for the fact that a Private Legislation Reform Bill for Wales, passed unanimously on the 25th March, 1904 its second reading in the House of Commons, and that not a single Irish Member brought forward the ... -

Suggested substitutes for the present Poor Law system
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)The continual complaints in Great Britain and Ireland of the inefficiency and extravagance of the Poor Law System, have been accentuated of late by the labour crisis and want of employment. Criticisms abound and ... -
Technical education for commerce
