Extent and medium

The volume records the monthly meetings of the committee of Father Mathew Temperance Hall, Church Street. The first page is annotated with an index to ‘references to matters of intemperance’, presentations, elections and subscription increases at the committee meetings. The following two pages contain a list of the names and terms of offices of the Capuchin friars who acted as president and vice-president of Father Mathew Hall (1894-1967). The minutes refer to routine matters of administration of the Hall’s operation. A copy of typescript minutes for 4 Mar. 1968 is pasted into the volume. The minutes refer to the demands of Dublin Corporation for the reconstruction of the Hall and the inability of the committee to raise the £30,000 required. The committee resolved that ‘all the assets of the charity should be transferred to the Capuchin Order to ensure that the purposes for which the property was acquired, and the Hall originally built be maintained’. The volume also contains inserts of correspondence mainly related to the hiring of the Hall and the repair of the billiard table.
