Copy of typed letter to Most Rev. Gerald P. O’Hara, Apostolic Nuncio, from +McQuaid. Encloses a memorandum on the White Paper on Health Services. Points out the profound difference that the Hierarchy must expect to find between the Government of de Valera and that of Costello. Costello’s Government, with exception of Dr. Browne and Mr. McBride, was in sympathy with the Church. Regarding de Valera, his policy towards the Church is one of distance. He would not make any reference to the Hierarchy in case of jeopradising Protestant support and that of the Liberal Independents. Neither did he want to antagonize the North of Ireland Protestants as this could affect Partition.
