Letter from Fr. Nessan Shaw

Letter from Fr. Nessan Shaw OFM Cap., President, Father Mathew Hall, Cork, to Fr. Conrad O’Donovan OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, outlining the financial position of the Hall. Fr. Nessan affirmed that finances are ‘a matter of real concern because of the rising costs and reduced theatre patronage. At present we are losing money. It costs over £2,000 a year to run the Hall’. Fr. Nessan also refers to the changing nature of the activities in the Hall and to his intention to attract a ‘younger and wider audience’. A statement of financial accounts is enclosed.
