St. Audeon’s Boys’ National School Principal, pointed to the ruinous condition of the area. The letter was sent to Alderman John McCann, T.D., and forwarded to M. O’Brien, Co-Ordinating Technical Officer. The Parish Priest, shopkeepers and residents all wish to have the area rebuilt. The population was decreasing and the jobs of teachers were in jeopardy. Fr.
