Typed letter to Fr. T. Fehily from Fr. Michael O’Neill, St. Columban’s, Navan. Fr. O’Neill’s informant is not prepared to give an opinion on the Irish Workers’ Union at present. Pat O’Donovan has been expelled. There is a split in the Connolly Association, led by O’Donovan and the Trotskyites. Believes that the IWU came into being as a result. The key man in IWU is Michael Callinan. Does not know if there is a link between the Socialist Labour League and the IWL. It seems that the Trotskyites hoped to use the Irish Workers’ Union as a front for recruiting just as the British CP used the Connolly Association, but failed.

Extract from The Newsletter, titled “The truth about the Stalinist-controlled Connolly Association”, by Pat O’Donovan. The Connolly Association has been attacking the Socialist Labour League so Irish workers want to know the truth about it, and the ideology of its paper, the Irish Democrat. It is not a nationalist organisation but a sordid Stalinist set-up. After Stalin’s death in 1953 wrote a glowing tribute to him, but was silent when Khrushchev exposed him.
