Abstract:
At a late meeting of the Society Dr. Hancock exhibited a very suggestive
table, showing the unsatisfactory financial position of Irish
Railways. It must have occurred to many at the time that a
similar table of the English and Scotch Railways would be instructive,
and enable us to see whether State interference with the
Railways of Ireland was rendered necessary by any circumstances
peculiar to this country, or was only an aggravated form of the
general unhealthiness which affects the Railway System of the
entire kingdom.
I have prepared such a table with the purpose of making it the
groundwork of my remarks to you this evening.
