DEFIANT ISLANDERS AND  

TAXES        

Islanders living off Galway County  

refuse to pay their taxes and the County Connell does not know what to do. In the case of some islands of the coast no person can be found, even

with the offer of very attractive re- muneration, to undertake the position

of collector, and where collectors are     available on the mainland owners of boats have

refused to facilitate their passage to the islands.

On a few occasions the Civic Guards have

persuaded the owners to lend their service and their boats, or their boats alone, for the

guards to cross. In such cases the guards have met with anything but a cordial

reception
