To the Editor of the Limerick Echo,

Sir,

I kindly request that you publish this letter in your esteemed newspaper. It has come to my attention that the tradespeople of our city have not been as attentive as they should be regarding the Licensing Bill, especially concerning the extension of the three-mile limit. I believe it is imperative to express our gratitude to the suburban traders, particularly Mr Kahilly, for the eloquent manner in which he defended the working class. We should also extend our thanks to the members who responded practically to Mr Kahilly’s appeal at the Corporation.

I sincerely hope that, given the limited time available to consider our interests, the city’s traders will immediately pass resolutions condemning the extension of the limit. Due to the cooperation of suburban traders with the working class, it is essential to maintain close contact with their secretary.

Yours truly (for the working men),

Concerned.
