In a discussion of crime rates in Limerick City and County, it is noted that the United Irish League has played a significant role in the suppression of crime. During the Limerick Quarter Sessions, Judge Adams received white gloves as a symbol of the crimeless calendar in the city and county. The judge made it clear that he was drawing no inference and no conclusions, but he acknowledged that Limerick was one of the most crime-free areas within the dominions of the King. The United Irish League’s efforts and effects on crime reduction were commended as a positive contribution to maintaining the peace and safety of the local community.
