| Summary: | Writes, "I however, seeing that it was no use expecting ever to get any aid from England for anything Irish, sent in a proposal two years since to the Government, asking them as authorized by Act of Parliament to lend the sum of £8,000 to be spent in repairing the Pier". "These facts may convince even Mr. Gladstone of the necessity of Home Rule for Ireland for until we get it, we need never expect to get fair justice done to us". |
