Typed letter to + McQuaid from Fr. Donal Reidy PP, VG, Tralee, dealing with the execution of Charles Kerin, Tralee, in Dublin. Wants to bring to the notice of + McQuaid a matter in which his parish has serious difficulties with practices in Dublin. Accuses the IRA of using the trial, reprieve/agitation, execution and post-mortem as propaganda. Fr. Reidy and seven priests refused to sign the petition for reprieve as it would be a public censure of the Government without sufficient reason. Neither did the condemned man deny his crime or show remorse. Explained that diocesan regulations forbade such publicity.
