Typed copy of the minutes of the ‘V’ Committee meeting. The following items are mentioned in the report: at a recent Postal Workers’ Union election Sean Moore was not allowed to speak Des Brannigan was elected Murphy is the new Secretary and seems to be “under party discipline” Mr. Murtagh, their solicitor, was “booted out without warning” and has joined the IWL. A priest told a Committee member a boy informed him that he was trained as a Communist by his father. If the father deviated the boy would report him. During the last (general) election Michael O’Riordan, a bus-conductor, stood for election. When it was rumoured that a letter from the Archbishop was to be read at Masses it seems that protests were arranged in all churches in the constituency. O’Riordan is very affable.
