Handwritten minutes of ‘V’ Committee meeting. The following are mentioned in the report: the play, ‘Maria Goretti’, was performed in schools and parochial halls by the Daniels’ family from Leixlip, Co. Kildare. The Committee feel that it should have been submitted to the ecclesiastical authorities for approval. The membership of the Catholic Guild of Journalists is not good. The National Union of Journalists and the Guild of Irish Journalists are the other associations. There is a strong and effective need for a Catholic Guild. It suggests that an assistant chaplain to Fr. Thomas Murphy is needed and recommends Fr. Austin Flannery, O. P. Mgr. O’Halloran will discuss the matter with Fr. Murphy.

Typed letter to Fr. Martin from Una Byrne. She received a reply from IHA. She will not be allowed on to the sub-committee, so she will bide her time. Otherwise she might be expelled for damaging the organisation. Has a great plan if it works. Mrs Murphy of the Iveagh Markets and 14/15 other women will join the IHA, so she cannot see the Trinity crowd staying. Mrs Murphy has lost all her customers so Una Byrne will help her get new ones.
