This letter was written by Eugene Callanan (1862-1931), secretary for Cork County Council. The letter was addressed to the Under-Secretary for Ireland, Sir Robert Chalmers (1858-1938). Chalmers was sent to Ireland as under-secretary, replacing Sir Matthew Nathan who had resigned along with Augustine Birrell , his chief secretary following the Easter Rising in 1916.  This letter concerns a motion adopted by the Cork County Council the previous week. The motion requests that the members of the council be permitted to act on the Committees of Management of Tramways and Light Railways in the county of Cork on the understanding that they will not expect payment for doing so.
