The Harbour Commissioners’ refusal to grant the return of imported goods, as requested by the Limerick Industrial Association, has triggered disappointment and disagreement. The Association, concerned about the impact on the “Irish Industrial Revival,” has urged the board to reconsider its stance. While some board members felt that the Association should accept the given response, others believed that the requested information could be useful and informative for the public. A divided discussion ensued, with opinions varying on the importance of this information considering the substantial role railways and canals play in goods transportation.
