During a meeting, the Kilallock Board of Guardians raised the issue of appointing delegates to attend a meeting to investigate the management of Glin School. The chairman expressed support for appointing delegates, emphasizing that there would be no cost involved. However, Mr Donovan questioned the legal election of the vice chairman of the Glin Board. The chairman responded that three solicitors affirmed his legality, while one expressed a contrary opinion. Mr Donovan then inquired about the stance of the Local Government Board, to which the chairman stated that they deemed any individual from Listowel unqualified to attend the school. It was agreed to appoint delegates in a future meeting to address these concerns.

Regarding the Foynes Dispensary, Mr P.M. Culhane proposed to rescind the order to establish a dispensary depot at Foynes. Mr Barry seconded the motion. In a poll, all members except three voted in favour of the proposition, resulting in a majority decision. The members who voted for the motion included J. Hewson, M. Kennedy, P. Dempsey, J. Hawvnon, T. Foley, F. Toomey, J. Larry, J. Maguer, P.M. Culhane, P. O’Shaughnessy, W. Costelloe, W. O’Neill, and C. Maguee, totalling 13. Three members, J. Donovan, J. Gallagher, and J. Cahill, did not vote. Mr Gallagher voiced his protest against the proceedings, stating that his supporters were absent that day in Limerick. He deemed it unfair to proceed with the rescinding motion but humorously added that the dispensary issue would surely resurface on the next Board day.

These discussions shed light on the ongoing deliberations surrounding the management of Glin School and the decision to rescind the establishment of the dispensary depot in Foynes.
