Proposal to secularise Irish Church funds for railways
A letter to the Nonconformist argues the Irish Church funds should be secularised and used to nationalise Ireland’s railways. It estimates £726,200 in debentures and stocks with a net balance of £1,405,700 after deductions, proposing annual accessions for incumbents and potential gains from church assets.
