Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Addresses: Delivered at the Meetings of the Council of Agriculture During the First Vice-Presidency (1900-1907)
I now come to that large sphere of operations included Sound under the heads of Agriculture and other Administration of rural industries and Sea Fisheries, in state Aid which the most important part of our work will be done. Here, as the Chief Secretary points out, we have an absolutely free hand. This condition is one with which we shall not quarrel, though, sometimes, I am a little appalled when I contemplate the volume of suggestions with which the Department may be inundated. Of course, the wider the interest in our work the better we shall be pleased; but it is essential we should come to an agreement upon the broad principles which ought to govern our work of agricultural and industrial development. As we have few precedents which are other than warnings of what to avoid in the records of State aid to agriculture and industries in Ireland, I am sure you will agree with me that we shall be wise to accept the principles which economic theory sanctions, and which the practical experience of foreign countries has shown to be effective.
