Letter from Thomas D. Malone, Hon. Sec., to + McQuaid. They have repeatedly asked Archdeacon D. O Ceallachain for the use of the Parish Hall for Junior and Senior youth clubs and recreation for old folks. The Archdeacon has done nothing but try to undermine their work by every underhanded method. This cannot be tolerated any longer and begs his intervention. Otherwise more serious action will be taken.

Typed minutes of ‘V’ Committee meeting. Its function this year is to report to + McQuaid in detail on officials of the various trade unions. Each member was given 22 trade unions with names of officials. The V. Rev. Chairman had a report, compiled by the Knights of Columbanus in 1948, on Communist members and their activities. Fr. Crean was delegated to approach Colonel Callaghan, the Head of Army Intelligence, to update the list of Communist Party members. Information was sought on journalists Brian O’Neill, Tony Malone, Annie Kelly, Maurice Hickey, Don Rooney and Michael McInerney.
