Note from +McQuaid to Fr. John Moloney, Curate, Pro Cathedral asking him to examine the possibility of ‘our’ taking part in the Pueri Cantores Congress.

He states the Nuncio is aware that if we can not guarantee a worthy performance, then we should not go.

Handwritten letter to + McQuaid from Patrick Roche, Secretary, the Richard Corish Branch, Irish Labour Party, Rosslare Harbour. Thanked the Archbishop for his visit to James Larkin. Is grateful for all he has done in “genuine Christian charity”. Archbishop has much in common with Dr. Dignam, Bishop of Clonfert, who did his duty. But Dr. Dignam made one mistake. He was too honest “for our newcomers to the ballot box”, and went down gloriously. “Right under Might.” The working-class pray that similar just prelates do not suffer same fate. Earnest wish is that Labour leaders of future will pay respect to bishops.
