DISPOSAL OF HOLDINGS IN BELMULLET AND NEWPORT DISTRICTS
From A Book Called "Emigration From Ireland"
"Mr. Tuke'S Fund".

Report of the Committee.
In concluding their first Report, more than a year ago, the
Executive Committee of the above Fund expressed a hope that
the Government might see their way to grant a sum of money
to assist in carrying on the work of Emigration from the
congested districts in the West of Ireland ; the Committee
being " convinced that a vast amount of such work remained
to be done, but that the necessary outlay would be beyond
the means of any private society.
This hope was fortunately realised by the insertion in the
Arrears Act of 1882, of a clause whereby a grant of £100,000
was made to the Irish Executive for Emigration purposes. On
the passing of that Act, the Committee were requested by the
Lord Lieutenant to undertake the charge of certain districts
in the West of Ireland ; and more than a quarter of the
whole grant was placed at their disposal.
It will therefore suffice here to summarise the principles
of action, namely : -
1. That the Emigration should be *' family " as distinct
from " individual " emigration.
2. That no pressure of any sort should be put on the people
to induce them to emigrate.
8. *That where they could afford it, the emigrants should be
asked to contribute something towards the cost.*
4. That those only should be sent to the States who could
produce recent letters from friends willing and anxious to
receive them out there.
5. That the rest - where suitable - should be sent to
Canada, either to the Government agents, or to the friends
with whom the Committee were in communication ; and who had
most kindly undertaken to receive some of the emigrants.
6. That each family should be booked through to their
destination ; should receive a sum for landing money on
arrival at the port ; and should be supplied with proper
clothing and outfit.
The emigrants were nearly all sent by the steamers of the
Glasgow " Allan " Line ; those from Oughterard and Clifden
were embarked at Galway, and the Mayo emigrants at Blacksod
Bay, near Belmullet, - and were landed at Boston or Quebec.
* Owing to the poverty of the people this was found almost
impossible, and only about £320 was received from the Mayo,
and about £50 from the Galway emigrants.
