DUBLIN MARKET AND THE MOTOR RACE.
An important meeting of the Committee of the Association was
held on Thursday, Mr. Edward Kennedy, in the chair; also present: -
Messrs Gavin Low, J.P.; R. Wilkinson, J.P.; Wm. Radcliff, J.P.; Wm.
P. Delaney, C. Grimes, George H. Lennon, J.P.; Charles Bergin, Co.C.;
John Curtis, V.P.; R. K. Tighe, James Ennis, R. Warren, P. O’Connor,
John Kennedy, and Lorcan G. Sherlock, Secretary. Letters dealing with
Mr. O’Connor’s proposal to change date of Dublin Market
during Motor Race week were received from – Messrs Wm. Field,
M.P.; W. Russell, J.P.; John T. Byrne, P. Leonard, J.P.; E. Kelly, J.P.;
P. Greaves, Co.C.; etc. After hearing the views of quite a number of
salesmen and dealers and butchers, the Committee decided by a large
majority not to make any effort to have the market-day changed as any
alteration would cause enormous inconvenience and possibly great financial
loss to many. The Committee were however of opinion that the market
might be started early and the Railway Company affording facilities
those who liked might transact their business first and then travel
to see the race. Mr. Kennedy having left the chair Mr. Delaney was moved
thereto.
