Typed copy of a report from Superintendent G.V Convery to headquarters, marked ‘secret’, regarding a letter found in a public house in Robertstown, Co. Kildare. The letter was written by Peadar O’Donnell to four students. The report explains how the letter came into the possession of the Gardaí. Garda inquiries give some details on the students.

Typed report on CPI and KO activities. The following items are mentioned in the report: Patrick Carmody gave an illustrated lecture on Sean O’Casey. ‘Buster’ McCabe arrived from Belfast. Peadar O’Donnell spoke on ‘The Irish in Britain’, saying that English Catholics were antagonistic towards Irish émigrés. Tommy O’Reilly (a retired ITGWU official) said that “150 unemployed from each side of the city should purchase food and having no money to pay would be jailed. This would bring matters to a head.”

Handwritten report saying that the aim of the a private meeting in Jury’s, Peadar O’Donnell presiding, was to get sports’ bodies to send delegates to festival in Moscow. Unusual to hear O’Donnell praise Patrick Kavanagh. Nasty rumours about the moral circumstances in which Kavanagh went to America. Asks if he has read Fr. Harley’s wild statement – a great encouragement to Communists.

Handwritten letter to Fr. Martin saying that a lady, Dr. [ill.], is to give a lecture to the Catholic Association for International Relations organised by Vincent Grogan. Chaired by Victor Meeney, a Communist. The lady is either an innocent or the Association picked a bad lecturer. Meeney is a friend of Peadar O‘Donnell.
