CORRESPONDENCE
RE:—POOR RELIEF ACTS 1838/1949
Dear Sir,
With reference to the letter appearing in the
Gazette of
the
Incorporated Law Society of Ireland for July, 1957, I have a
case somewhat similar to that mentioned by your correspondent.
I suggest that representation should be made to the Govern
ment to amend these Acts so that the owner of rent from
County Hospitals etc. should be liable to be rated in respect
of such rent to the extent of one-quarter poundage of the
rate under the above Acts.
The present system is unjust having regard to the ever
increasing rates which are bound to go higher every year in
Ireland owing to existing circumstances.
Yours faithfully,
HUGH O'DONNELL.
