Irish Gauge

[John Dennis <jdennis@acslink.net.au>]

I have just been asked why Victoria ran on 5'3" and New South Wales on
standard gauge.  I know all the Australian history of those decisions,
and was able to answer the query.  I was then asked why the Irish chose
5'3" as opposed to the Biritish standard gauge.

Can anybody assist with an answer ...
