Item 711 - 19 February 1957

1p

Copy letter form +McQuaid to +O’Hara concerning the Assumptions Sisters’ desire to have a foundation in Dublin. He has already written to them stating that there is no hope at the moment. This is the 226th request for a religious house in Dublin. There is fear among the Bishops that if allowed in, these Orders will take vocations from our own congregations, at home and abroad. He has also had to intervene in the area of sending girls to foreign postulant and novitiate centres. He hopes his attitude is understood.
