May. 3/ 36/8. 20 May 1957 Typed letter to Fr. C. Mangan, Archbishop’s House, from Fr. C. Barrett, Director, C.S.W.B., saying he met Mr. F. O’Broin who was unable to give any clear picture as to how they hoped to achieve their aims. James Meenan and Peadar O’Donnell are to act as ‘economic advisors’. The Movement has no funds. Fr. Barrett cannot see how any useful purpose can be served by sending a representative. 3/ 36/9. 20 May 1957 Telephone message from Fr. MacMahon saying O’Broin received the impression from Fr. Barrett that the Archbishop will not be represented at the meeting and is upset. 3/ 36/10. Draft letter, in +McQuaid’s handwriting, thanking Mr. O’Broin for his invitation, but the Archbishop does not consider it advisable at this stage to send a representative. 3/ 36/11. 21 May 1957 Copy of typed letter to Mr. O’Broin from Fr.

While His Grace favours any proper measures to stem undue emigration, he does not consider it advisable at this stage to send a representative. 3/ 36/12. 21 May 1957 Typed letter to +McQuaid from Fr. J.A. MacMahon outlining the communications with Mr. Felim O’Broin, Chairman of the Anti-Emigration Movement of Ireland. Mr. O’Broin telephoned to say he was upset as a result of his interview with Fr. Barrett and asked for an interview with the Archbishop. Told Fr. Barrett’s report had not yet come in. A full report of the conversation attached. 3/ 36/13. 22 May 1957 Typed note regarding a telephone conversation between Mr. O’Broin and Fr. MacMahon. Asked how, if asked at the Meeting, he should explain that the Archbishop had sent no representative. 3/ 36/14. 22 May 1957 Note by Fr. MacMahon saying that Mr. O’Broin called to Archbishop’s House asking advisability of inviting Fr. Barrett to the Meeting in a private capacity. Fr. MacMahon thought not. 3/ 36/15. 9 July 1957 Mr. O’Broin called to Archbishop’s House to give an interim verbal report. Wished to speak to +McQuaid, who was away on retreat. The impression Fr. MacMahon received was that Mr. O’Broin was under an intolerable nervous and physical strain. 3/ 33/16. 16 July 1957 Handwritten telephone message from Fr. James A. MacMahon.

It seems to him that Mr. O’Broin is acting prematurely in calling public meetings. Neither he nor his Committee are well educated in Catholic Social Teaching, so they would be better off refraining from calling public meetings. 3/ 36/18 (2). Typed letter from F. O’Broin, President, National Anti-Emigration Movement of Ireland, inviting people to attend a meeting in Jury’s Hotel on 29 May 1958. 1 item 3/ 36/19. 28 May 1958 Copy of typed letter to Mr. O’Broin, National Anti- Emigration Movement of Ireland, from the Secretary.

Mr. O’Broin of the Irish National Anti-Emigration Movement phoned to inform +McQuaid of a meeting held in the Matt Talbot Hall for the purpose of encouraging emigration to South Africa.
