O'Rourke, John

"With Notices of Earlier Irish Famines"


Their Lordships suggest for the consideration of the Lord Lieutenant,
that it may be advisable that in every case in which it may be
determined to assemble extraordinary sessions, for tin presentment of
works under the 10th Vict, cap. 107, instructions should also be issued
to the lieutenant of the county, to reassemble the relief committees of
the districts in which such works are proposed to be carried on, making
such changes in the individuals composing the committees as
circumstances may require; or, if no relief committees have yet been
organized in the districts in question, to appoint new committees in
accordance with the rules prescribed by the relief commission.
Their Lordships also suggest that, in order to obviate inconveniences
which have been experienced during the late relief operations, the
following alterations should be made in the instructions under which the
local relief committees have hitherto acted:--
First, with regard to the assistance given by the relief committees in
the proper appropriation of the relief provided under the 10th Viet.
cap. 107, by means of public works:--
That tickets should not hereafter be issued by the relief committees
entitling persons to employment on such public works.
