Typed letter to Fr. Martin from Una Byrne. She received a reply from IHA. She will not be allowed on to the sub-committee, so she will bide her time. Otherwise she might be expelled for damaging the organisation. Has a great plan if it works. Mrs Murphy of the Iveagh Markets and 14/15 other women will join the IHA, so she cannot see the Trinity crowd staying. Mrs Murphy has lost all her customers so Una Byrne will help her get new ones.

Typed copy of a report on a discussion on County Council Scholarships at a meeting of the Rathdown Comhaile Ceannter Fianna Fail. Mrs Byrne asked that the scheme be explained. Booth saw the present scheme as ‘religious discrimination’. University College Dublin (UCD) worked the scholarship scheme for Dublin County Council. If a student wanted to go to Maynooth, Galway or Trinity they would have to apply through UCD. De Valera approached by Booth and said it was a matter for the County Council and UCD and would not get involved. He inferred that His Grace, the Archbishop of Dublin, wrote to The Standard.
