read his report as follows:—
The attention of Dáil Éireann has been directed in earlier reports of the Local Government Department to the punitive and obstructive measures which, during the late war, were directed against local authorities and the resulting difficulties in the conduct of local administration. These ceased to be of serious import in the maintenance of public services from the time of the Truce, July 1921; since January they may be said to be no longer of any importance. It is, however, to be noted that the payment of rates has not been maintained at pre-war punctuality, probably because of diminished incomes due to the trade slump, and to the dislocation of normal business relations. Furthermore, the assessments for the financial year, 1921—22, were necessarily very largely in excess of the previous demands made by rate-raising authorities.
Owing to the unemployment which exists in varying extent throughout the country, local authorities have been pressed to carry into effect schemes for relieving distress and in the most serious cases the efforts of these bodies have been assisted by the machinery of the Local Government Department. The greatest necessity has occurred on the western seaboard along most of the coast-line from Donegal to Cape Clear. Various cases have, in these districts, contributed to a state of affairs clearly bordering on famine. A most painful feature is that the native-speaking population has suffered from the economic pressure to an altogether disproportionate extent.
The White Cross has voted a sum of £25,000 for relief on the west coast, and the Director of the White Cross will have the fullest assistance and co-operation from the Inspection Staff of the Local Government Department in dealing with the schemes to be inaugurated. A Committee was also formed in Dublin to relieve distress, more particularly in Gorumna, Lettermullen and surrounding districts. The Minister has received from this Committee a cheque for £1,300, the money being payable at his discretion, limited by certain conditions, mainly, that it should be applicable to work of a constructive nature. This contribution has been supplemented from another source by £1,200. These two sums have been lent without interest for the purchase of seed and will be repaid in accordance with the conditions. The Councils of the Rural Districts in which these areas are comprised also raised from Banks a sum of £5,000 on loan, repayable from rates in a period of three years. It is to relieve the interest thereon that these sums of £1,300 and £1,200 above referred to will be employed.
The Local Government Department distributed relief (Food, etc.) to the extent of about £1,600 in the Gorumna, Oughterard and Galway areas. A supplemental estimate will be presented for this sum, in addition to others referred to later.
The money was spent in circumstances of urgent necessity to ward off the imminent consequences of actual destitution. The Department considered the conditions to be so serious that the local Inspector (Mr. Lysaght) was specially despatched to and was stationed in the district for several weeks. Mr. Robbins, T.D., also went down and assisted the Inspector in completing the scheme, and attended the meetings of the District Councils.
The other case in which a special sum was provided by the Cabinet, on the advice of the Minister, was the inauguration of a special fund for Tory Island, and the contribution of £50 to provide a nurse for the Island. The total inclusive cost in this case is £308.
The Department has arranged to place Inspectors at the disposal of the Director of the White Cross in connection with the scheme which it is proposed to formulate for various districts on the western seaboard at the cost of £25,000 generously voted by the White Cross. The counties requiring special assistance are Donegal, Mayo, Galway, Kerry, and possibly a part of Cork.
The Minister has received many deputations from towns where unemployment has become chronic. Unemployment is always revealed at once in the pulse of Local Government. In the first report submitted to An Dáil from this Department various extracts from speeches and writings, notably those of Daniel O'Connell and Smith O'Brien, were quoted, showing the inherent objection of the people to poor relief and the vital importance of dealing with the necessities of the people by constructive methods. The basic essentials of schemes recommended by a Commission which sat in '36 (the two most prominent members of which were the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin and the Episcopalian Archbishop) still remained unfulfilled, i.e., drainage and reclamation. It is not submitted that unemployment can be dealt with directly by the State alone, but certainly the functions of the State should be regulated to enable the business of the community to be conducted in that condition of stability which is the right of good citizenship.
Since furnishing the last Report problems necessitating very careful consideration have arisen in most of the towns and cities throughout the country. From the facts presented to the Department it would appear that the specially serious instances are Limerick, Waterford, Wexford, Tralee, Ennis, Wicklow, Athlone, and Fermoy. In the case of Limerick, the Mayor, Ald. S. O'Mara, pointed out in a letter to the Ministry the many municipal questions requiring attention. The Mayor of Wexford represented early in the Autumn the effect on the Foundries in that town of the business slump, connected to some extent with the aftermath of the war. In three of the towns the Waterworks (or supply) need big capital outlay, and in two cases extensive expenditure on drainage is essential. In Limerick, owing to the high death rate, a Medical Inspector was instructed to submit a special Report. Generally speaking the resources of Urban Districts are taxed to the utmost in the maintenance of essential Public Services, and in many cases it has been represented that extensions or improvements are impracticable because of the increase in cost and the high rate of interest on loans.
The economies effected by the Amalgamation Schemes for Unions, and the fall in prices of commodities, have resulted generally in a decrease of the rates levied for 1922—23. The Amalgamation Scheme is based on the provision in each County of a Home for the aged poor and a County Hospital with subsidiary Hospitals where necessary. While not identical in details the Schemes generally can be adapted to conform with a uniform policy for the whole country. Enquiries into the working of the present arrangements may be necessary to preserve the best features of existing Schemes.
It is scarcely necessary to point out that a local authority cannot function satisfactorily when its finances become disordered by the delay or remissness of ratepayers. It is regretted that many local authorities have just cause for complaint in this regard; advantage has been taken of the unsettled conditions to withhold payment of rates lawfully due. This is a matter which will require careful consideration.
During the war period is was not practicable to carry out local audits except to a very limited extent. The work has now been resumed and a statement is annexed showing the public bodies whose Accounts have been audited since the Truce.
It is with infinite regret that the Department has to report serious predatory raids and seizures of monies belonging to Local Authorities. Explosives being released by the Minister for Defence for use in quarries were seized in transit. The cost of quarrying, if the operation has to be carried on without explosives, will be prohibitive, and consequent unemployment is inevitable. Roads will deteriorate to such an extent that reconstruction will eventually be possible only at enormous cost. The laws respecting malicious damage stand and some local authorities are faced with the prospect of very heavy liabilities in consequence of the destruction of property. In the case of the City of Dublin the loss in this connection may run to six figures.
Cash to the extent of £1,000 was robbed from a Paymaster of the Dublin County Council who was on his way to pay wages.
Many dishonest seizures have taken place of monies from Post Offices representing collections of Dog Tax. The loss of these monies must necessarily reduce pro tanto amounts available in reduction of local rates.
REPORT.
A Departmental development has taken place since the submission of the last report, viz., the inauguration of a business section. The General Council of County Councils favours central purchases, and standardisation of samples has long been the objective of important organisations—including Sinn Féin and the Irish Industrial Development Association. Last year the Trade Department of Dáil Éireann compiled useful information on this subject which was placed at the disposal of the Department. A Report is attached from the chief official of this section.
Examinations have been held for several positions in the Local Government service throughout the country by the Local Government Department, and the Minister for Education has been consulted with a view to arranging for future examinations. He has submitted proposals in connection with a scheme, and the matter is at present under consideration.
At the Ard-Fheis held in October last the question of officials of local authorities being elected members of other local authorities arose and the general view was expressed that any person serving as a Local Government official should not be eligible for election to a local body in the same rate-raising area. The General Council of County Councils forwarded the following resolution dealing with the subject passed at a meeting held on 23/2/22:—
Resolved:—“That the Minister of Local Government be requested to introduce legislation to make permanent or temporary full-time officials or employees of any public body dealing with Local Government ineligible for election to any other such Public Body.”
Unless the matter be considered as non-contentious it is not proposed to introduce a decree.
A supplemental estimate will be submitted to sanction a payment of £750 to the Treasurer Sligo County Council. The facts relating to this payment are as follows:—In the spring of 1921 Rate Collectors in Sligo refused to pay over to the Council, in the absence of the Treasurer, rates collected by them. The I.R.A. apprehended the Rate Collectors and recovered over £8,000. The Local Government Inspector for the area informed the officers of the I.R.A. in Sligo that if rates were collected by them poundage would be paid on sums so collected. It was apparently assumed by the officers in question that the action of apprehending the Rate Collectors was equivalent to collection and a sum of £1,000 was demanded and paid under protest. It was subsequently claimed that in consequence of the action of the I.R.A. a total sum of £30,000 (including the £8,000) was collected in rates and paid to the Sligo County Council. The case being reported to the Department it was pointed out that the deduction of £1,000 was illegal and that the sum should be restored. A meeting took place in the autumn in the Mansion House of some of the officers concerned with the then Minister of Defence, the then Chief of Staff and the Minister of Local Government, and it was decided that the money should be restored. This decision was reported to the then Cabinet and sanction was given to a contribution of £200 from the Department, thereby reducing the liability to £800. As no action was taken on this decision, a further interview took place between the ex-Minister of Defence, Commandant Devins. T.D., the Minister and the Chief of Inspection Staff of Local Government. An offer was made and accepted that £750 would be paid by the Local Government Department, and Commandant Devins, T.D., undertook to lodge £250, making up the total sum involved. The Cabinet approved of this arrangement and a cheque was despatched to the Inspector for the area. He reported that he was unable to secure the lodgment of £250 by Commandant Devins, T.D. before the 31st March, and he was instructed to pay to the Treasurer of the Sligo County Council the cheque value £750. The Bank receipt was forwarded to the Accountant-General for this sum.
The Department willingly and gratefully acknowledges the value and importance of the various services rendered Local Government by the Army and frankly acknowledges that the success which attended Local Government adminstration depended on the help and support so rendered. It is not, however, within the power of the Department to sanction payment out of monies raised in Rates for services rendered by the Army, and in no other case was such payment demanded or made.
A section of the Mayo County Council at a meeting held on the 18th March adopted a resolution to strike a rate of 6d. in the £ for the support of the I.R.A. and I.R.P. This resolution was adopted after the Chairman of the County Council had been voted from the Chair because of his refusal to accept a motion in violation of the law as adopted by Dáil Éireann and some members had withdrawn under legitimate protest.
The usual procedure in such cases is to consider an estimate with details of the proposed expenditure, and no opportunity was afforded the members of considering the various items which were embodied in the proposed rate. One of the members present when the resolution was carried stated that the proposed rate would be used to clear off liabilities "as far as it went." The rate so levied is invalid. Ratepayers are entitled to refuse to pay it and the rate cannot be sustained in the Courts. The Department has been informed a number of ratepayers from one district have written to the Council to say they will not pay this rate. A Deputy of Dáil Éireann who is also a County Councillor, was present at this meeting. He is a member of the legal profession and he supported this illegal levy.
Serious dislocation of the public services and considerable unemployment are inevitable from this action of a section of the County Council. An Inspector from the Department acting on instructions informed the County Council at a previous meeting the striking of this rate was illegal. L.T. Mac Cosgair.
AIREACHT RIAGHALTAIS AITEAMHLA.
(TRADE).
6, Exchequer Street, 22nd April, 1922.
To the Minister for Local Government.
A Chara, This Department has now concluded a partial Scheme of Collective Buying for the Public Boards and Institutions under Local Government Department control for this quarter— April, May and June. We are handling 346 items out of a possible 1,110. We propose to take the entire lot for the succeeding quarter—July, August and September.
The Institutions and Boards are, generally speaking, agreeing with the Scheme and Contractors inform us that orders are coming in, but there are many such who have repudiated our authority in the matter and are making Contracts themselves. To deal with these we are furnishing our Auditors and Inspectors with our list of prices, so that they will be in a position to deal with over-charges.
The result of our exertions have been to effect a considerable saving to Ratepayers. Manufacturers and Importers have largely tendered and are now supplying direct. We collected, in as far as possible, returns of an average three months' buying, together with average prices paid. We were unable, during the limited time at our disposal, to get complete returns and we may here mention that it was a matter of considerable difficulty to extract these figures from the Institutions.
We got no returns at all from about 40 Unions as we were in hopes that these would have been amalgamated before Scheme came into operation. We have, however, sent them on our Price Lists.
Another important saving which does not appear at all is that each Institution will get the exact quality of goods paid for, and this, unfortunately, has not always been the case in the past.
We have also invited Public Bodies to ask for our help in buying any article which they may require, and owing to many such applications made to us we are now negotiating about the price of Cement and will shortly announce a substantial reduction in price, both in British and Belgian makes. We also gave our help towards inducing the Combine to restart the Wexford Industry and are glad to state that they are now about to do so.
The following are the goods we were able to collect statistics of:—

You will notice that the estimated saving in sight amounts to £13,720 8s. 2d. To this should be added the very conservative estimate of say £6,000 to cover the saving of goods for which we could not collect statisties, making an estimated total of nearly £20,000.
This Department has also taken up every item concerned with trade and prices throughout the 26 counties reported by the Inspectors or revealed in the Minutes. To show how necessary this is we may mention that we have a contract for supply of Ambulances at £281 8s. 10d. We heard of an ambulance being supplied by a local contractor to a County Home. We asked our Inspector to report as to make and price. The make was the same but the price was £414 5s. 0d.
We give you herewith some prices taken at random from Contracts made by various Bodies on April 1st, 1922, and give you our prices for purposes of comparison:—

Our prices include carriage.
The diversity of tenders accepted was very great. The most glaring example of this was in Medicine discounts, which ranged from nett list of 17½ per cent. off. We have on a revised and reduced List obtained a flat discount of 25 per cent. off the Country and 28 per cent. off for the Cities of Dublin and Cork.
We have given a preference in every case to Irish made goods and have been the means of starting two new absolutely Irish Industries by accepting tenders for goods not yet made. The Combined Purchase Scheme can be used as a powerful lever in this direction by guaranteeing the sale before the goods are manufactured. In this connection it is our intention to obtain from the various Institutions, etc., actual orders for three months' supply of non-perishable goods. We can then ask for tenders for a given quantity and hand out the orders at once. By this method we can make the Scheme more attractive to Manufacturers and Importers by saving railway carriages, risk of goods left unsold, and capital sunk in goods and raw material. The result will be increased competition and a keener price.
Since March 4th, this Department sent out 610 letters. During the same period we compiled and distributed 39 Circulars containing over 10,000 folio pages. The list of Contractors and prices alone ran into 20 pages, and this was sent to every Public Institution throughout the Country. Letters received numbered 356, not including Minutes and letters sent in through other Departments. Mise le meas, F.G. O Meachair.
