      Simpson, J. V. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1976)

    • The port of Belfast 

      Sinclair, Kenneth (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1957)
      I have been asked to make the subject of my talk this evening the Port of Belfast. Many visitors to the Port, on being shown around, are surprised at its magnitude, and exclaim that previously they had no conception of ...

    • The Port of Cork 

      Horgan, John J. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1956)
      The early importance of the Port of Cork is proved by the Charter granted by Henry VII in the year 1500 under which the Mayor of Cork was given jurisdiction over its waters. From this Grant arose the quaint and ancient ...

    • The port of Dublin 

      Hegarty, Denis A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1955)
      My purpose this evening is to tell you something about the Port of Dublin. I shall endeavour to do this in three stages, first I shall touch briefly on its history, then I shall describe the services which are required of ...

    • Post-war functions of commercial education 

      Williamson, Arthur (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1917)
      The title which I have chosen for the heading of this paper is at the best a vague and imperfect one. There are so many points to be considered, and the field of discussion is so wide as to our preparation for the Trade ...

    • Poverty as a cause of ill-health 

      Deeny, James (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1940)
      In Lurgan, Co. Armagh, where I practise, there is an excessive amount of sickness, and few people show really good health. By good health, I mean not merely the avoidance of disease, but the attainment and maintenance ...

    • Poverty problems for a patriot parliament 

      Dunne, John Patrick (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1923)

    • Practical characterology 

      Meredith, James C. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1929)
      A paper on Characterology needs some apology, I fear, if it is to be read to a Statistical and Social Inquiry Society such as this. No doubt characterologists are not in quite as unenviable a position as palmists, ...

    • Practical education in our schools 

      Finlay, T.A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)
      It will be admitted as a fundamental principle that the aim of all education is to fit children to do their duty worthily and successfully in later life. This conception of education covers a wide field. It includes the ...

    • The practice of the Commercial Court 

      Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)
      I must preface my remarks upon this subject by stating that the Commercial Court to which I allude has no existence in Ireland, and therefore I am at a disadvantage in dealing with a system of judicial procedure with ...

    • Predicting turning points in the rent cycle using the Natural Vacancy Rate ? An applied study of the Dublin office market 

      McCartney, John (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 2011)
      All property markets have a natural vacancy rate (NVR). Theory suggests that when the actual vacancy rate exceeds this NVR the market will be unbalanced. Then, rents will fall to restore equilibrium. Conversely, when ...

      Meenan, James (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1937)
      The second Census of the Six Counties of Northern Ireland was taken on February 28th, 1937. The preliminary figures of that Census have now been published, and it will be of some interest to discover how far they disclose ...

      Dodd, William H. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1878)

    • The preparation of national school pupils for technical training and industrial life 

      Ryan, Frederick W. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1917)

      Ingram, John Kells (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)
      Had I been called upon at any other time to preside over this section, I should have followed the example of most of my predecessors, in selecting as the subject of the discourse which it is usual to deliver from this ...

      Eason, Charles (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1888)

      Jordan, Thomas (Dublin Statistical Society, 1857)

    • President's address 

      Grimshaw, Thomas Wrigley (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1890)

      It occurred to me that it might possibly be pleasing both to the members of this society and that portion of the outside public which takes an interest in our proceedings, if in my address I endeavoured to make some ...
