Aithirne at last departed, taking with him his cattle, his sheep, and his one hundred and fifty captives. A multitude of Leinstermen went with him, for the ostensible purpose of escorting him in safety as far as the border; but their real purpose was a part of the plan conceived by their druid. For they were to accompany Aithirne across the Liffey, which was then the Leinster boundary, and there, being outside their own territory, and no longer constrained by the laws of hospitality, they were to despoil him of his booty. The ancient royal road from Naas to Tara crossed the Liffey at the point where Dublin now stands. But when Aithirne's party arrived at the fort the river was found to be too deep for the sheep.

I.T.A. Annual General Meeting. LT.A. PRESIDENT. . A large and very representative gathering attended the Annual General Meeting of the Irish Tourist Association held in the Gresham Hotel, Dublin, on Thursday, 28th October.

Four Million Pounds. Proposing the adoption of the Annual Report and Financial Statement, Mr. C. E. Reddin (outgoing President) said that the number of visitors this year constituted a record, not alone in numbers, but in money spent. Over four million pounds was being expended in Ireland by home and foreign holiday makers, and this could be increased to ten million pounds annually. He referred to the development of the LT.A. Film Unit, and stated that by the end of 1937 it hoped to have five cinema size films and eight sub-standards to its credit. He also spoke of the welcome reduction of visa fees for Americans, the facilities for liners at ports, the good propaganda being effected-in particular by the London Office-and the problem of lengthening the tourist season. The proposal of the adoption of the Report was seconded by Mr. F. A. Moran (Dublin), and was passed with acclamation.

A Major Industry. Acknowledging his election as President of the A sociation for the coming year, Mr. Barry M. Egan (Cork) outlined the work of the Association since its inception, in Cork, fourteen years ago.
