Typed letter to Rev. J. A. McMahon, Secretary, Archbishop’s House, from Fr. Fehily, Director, Institute of Catholic Sociology. At the AGM of the Marine Port and General Workers’ Union Desmond Brannigan, who was expelled from the Union, was readmitted to membership. Legally this was an appeal against his expulsion, and by being readmitted it means that he never ceased to be a member of the Union. He is eligible for election and has a good chance of being elected as General Secretary. His opponents, Mr. O’Donoghue and Mr. Byrne, may use delaying tactics. If This happens Brannigan may have to leave the country as he is in severe financial difficulties.
