St. Audeon’s Boys’ National School Principal, pointed to the ruinous condition of the area. The letter was sent to Alderman John McCann, T.D., and forwarded to M. O’Brien, Co-Ordinating Technical Officer. The Parish Priest, shopkeepers and residents all wish to have the area rebuilt. The population was decreasing and the jobs of teachers were in jeopardy. Fr. T. Barry, P.P., wrote to P.J. Hernon, City Manager, emphasizing that the area is ideal for residential accommodation. O’Byrne argued that since the Dept. of Education sanctioned the building of a new school this in itself was evidence that a considerable amount of residential accommodation would be retained for several generations. -1967
