Drafting material retained for reference[edit]

From the original drafting, to use if needed to improve the article (the whole of which requires more inline referencing):

Appears to have had its Second Reading on 3 March, and on 18th July, member Vesey Knox (for Londonderry) is heard objecting to the bill being delayed until the following Thursday, noting that the bill is being delayed by an attempt to forbid the new company from buying cars from the DUTC (the cheapest source), so having to buy them from England, and stating that the promoters would rather go to the USA than do this - consideration was deferred until the Thursday anyway but as the Bill then returned to the Lords, as below...

Hansard, vol 62, c 1291 / 26 July 1898, House of Lords Sitting, Private Bill Business: CLONTARF AND HILL OF HOWTH TRAMROAD BILL, "Returned from the Commons agreed to, with Amendments."

... having considered both a coastal route and one via Raheny, had a single line, from Dollymount to Howth Harbour, which opened on 26 July 1900. It operated as an extension of the DUTC lines and shared operation with the DUTC, providing a route from Nelson's Pillar to Howth, along the sea margin (before James Larkin Road existed), with restrictions from the Guinness family, etc. It remained legally independent until closure but was operationally integrated with the DUTC, at least from the second decade of the century. Tickets issued jointly by Dublin United Tramways Co & Clontarf & Hill of Howth Tramroad Co.
