CORRESPONDENCE RE:—POOR RELIEF ACTS 1838/1949 Dear Sir, With reference to the letter appearing in the Gazette of the Incorporated Law Society of Ireland for July, 1957, I have a case somewhat similar to that mentioned by your correspondent. I suggest that representation should be made to the Govern ment to amend these Acts so that the owner of rent from County Hospitals etc. should be liable to be rated in respect of such rent to the extent of one-quarter poundage of the rate under the above Acts. The present system is unjust having regard to the ever increasing rates which are bound to go higher every year in Ireland owing to existing circumstances. Yours faithfully, HUGH O'DONNELL. 29 Dublin St., Carlow. 22nd August, 1957.
