The example of Belgium: a possible effect of the war upon Ireland
(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 arterial drainage of Ireland
(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
(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, ...
Weights and measures after the war
(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 ...
The practice of the Commercial Court
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)
I must preface my remarks upon this subject by stating that

The extension to Ireland of the Arbitration Act, 1889
(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 ...
International time
(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 ...
The financial aspect of parliamentary private bill procedure
(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
(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 Report of the Vice-Regal Commission upon Irish Railways
(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 ...
