Meeting convened at the earliest possible opportunity
after the quelling by His Majesty's troops of the recent
disturbance, hear by assures His Gracious Majesty of the
loyalty of the Commercial Community to his person and to the
throne. They also desire to record their abhorrence of the dreadful
scenes of murder, carnage and destruction resulting from
the action of a section of the community in the city.' 'The Council of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce desire to
place on record their considered opinion that the outbreaks
which have occurred in the Metropolis and throughout the
country should have been impossible but for the gross and
unpardonable laxity, long continued, of the administration
of the Irish Government.' 'In view of the foregoing the Council of the Dublin Chamber
of Commerce are of the opinion that the funds necessary for
restoring the buildings and the property of unoffending
citizens destroyed in the course of the rebellion should
be provided by the Imperial Treasury without delay.'
