Typed minutes of ‘V’ Committee meeting. The following items are mentioned in the report: teddy- boys are excluded from all the ballrooms in the city. “Had they ceased to exist or are they involved in other activities?” a member asked. Copy of letter to + McQuaid was read in which Mr. Nightengale sought financial assistance For the Unemployed Self Help Association. As he had left the country there was no need to proceed. Reports on two meetings with journalists were read in which it was decided to set up a Guild of St. Francis de Sales for journalists in Ireland. A letter from the new Provisional Secretary was read asking if it was in order to request + McQuaid to become President of the Guild and whether he would appoint a chaplain. It was thought wiser if + McQuaid became a Patron rather than President. Michael O’Riordan addressed a meeting of 50-60 persons at 37 Pembroke Road. He criticized the lack of militarism in the Labour Party, advocated the nationalisation of the banks, more trade with the USSR, and demanded that clerical interference be ended.
