My dear Reverend Mother General,
I have heard from Reverend Mother
Mary de Pazzi of your kindnes in nominating Superiors for the
two Irish ventures.
This is verry encouraging news.
You need not be worried by the
delay in securing Edenmore. The lady vho owns it insisted on
having arbritration as she was not content with the price. It is a
mere technicality, but it means some delay. The original negotiat¬
ions are not alteted by arbritration.
I am grateful for your very kind
cooperation.
I remain, dear Reverend Mother
Yours sincerely in Christ,
+John C.McQuaid.
General,
Reverend Mother General,
Via Calandrelli 9, Roma.
Dear Mother Mary de Pazzi,
I am willing to sanction your adding some
extra private rooms at the Nursing Home, Raheny.
You will be good enough to supply the
plan to the Rt. Rev. Mgr. Fitzpatrick, V.G., 390 Howth Road.
With kind wishes,
I remain,
Yours sincerely in Xto.,

re Edenmore
My Lord Archbishop,
At the request of Mother de Pazzi I send you copy of
my firm's Letter of 21st instant to Mr McAuley the Corporation
Valuer.
Mother de Pazzi's difficulty is that she has obtained
Approval from her Council for an expenditure of £12,000 If the
adaitional property were to cost the figure originally estimated-
about £5000- the total cost of the entire property on the basis
of the offer now made by the Corporation wauld be about £16,500.
It Is therefore important that she should know what the total cost
will be (if it exceed £12,600) before she approaches her Mother
General and CounciI again. The Corporation will prebably not
quote an inclusive figure until they have got the result of the
arbitration with regard to the additional property. It will be
some months before a final agreement can be reached.
Believe me
My Lord Archbishop
Most truly yours,
The Most Reverend John C. McQuaid D.D.

The Dublin Diocesan Archives is based at Archbishop’s House, Drumcondra, headquarters of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin. It has always been the most important of Ireland’s twenty-six dioceses on account of its location, size, resources and history, and this is reflected in its archival holdings. The vast bulk of its holdings are confined to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with the Archives possessing only a small amount of material covering the reigns of twelve Archbishops from 1600 to 1770.
The Diocesan Archives currently holds the papers of eleven successive archbishops of Dublin covering the period 1770 to 2004. Of these, the collections of eight Archbishops are available to be consulted by researchers, and the links at the bottom of this page will bring you to more information regarding each of these collections.
There are a number of other collections housed in the Archives. These include the combined surviving records of the Catholic Association, the New Catholic Association and the Loyal National Repeal Association, three vehicles for mass agitation in support of Catholic interest in the first half of the nineteenth century and all intimately linked to Daniel O’Connell; the Episcopal collections consist of the papers of four auxiliary Bishops of Dublin: Nicholas Donnelly (1880-1920), Patrick Dunne (1920-89), James Kavanagh (1940-98) and Bishop Desmond Williams (1983-97); the collection of priests and religious of the Archdiocese; and the colleges collection. The most notable of these relates to the records (mainly financial) of the diocesan seminary, Holy Cross College (1859-1956) and the papers of Bartholomew Woodlock (1860-1879), who succeeded John Henry Newman as rector of the Catholic University of Ireland.
The collection is of use to many disciplines including history, local history, sociology, law, architecture, genealogy, education, religion, to name but a few. It should also be noted that Parish Registers (Baptismal and Marriage) are still held by the local parish churches and are not housed at the Diocesan Archives.
