Limerick – During the quarterly general meeting of the Limerick Branch of the Gaelic League, held on the 7th of the current month, a unanimous resolution was passed regarding the proposed International Exhibition. The Gaelic League, a cultural and language preservation organization, expressed its views on the matter.
The resolution stated that the members of the Limerick Branch of the Gaelic League, in their earnest desire to witness a successful Industrial Revival and the establishment of Irish-made products in the commercial market, firmly believed that anything other than a National Exhibition would impede the efforts of Ireland’s industrialists in competing with foreign counterparts. The Gaelic League emphasized the importance of Irish manufacturers maintaining a strong foothold in the commercial arena.
In light of these sentiments, the Gaelic League urged all public bodies to immediately cease any endeavours aimed at promoting an International Exhibition. The resolution concluded by stating that copies of the resolution would be sent to the Dublin and local Press, the Limerick Industrial Association, and the County Borough Council.
The Gaelic League’s stance on the proposed International Exhibition reflects their commitment to supporting Irish industries and ensuring their competitiveness on a national scale. The resolution serves as a call to prioritize and promote Irish-made products in order to foster the growth and prosperity of the country’s economy.
