Palmerstown from Chapelizod

Typed letter to + McQuaid from Hugh P. Allen, Palmerstown. Wants to bring to the Archbishop’s notice a matter affecting Palmerstown, namely Proselytism. The agent is a J.H. Wheatly (sic), an RIC pensioner, now employed by the “infamous” Irish Church Mission. Was active member of the Palmerstown Estate Association. He objected to the Committee of the Association consulting with the priest regarding the provision of a District Hall as “sectarianism”. He gave lectures in Townsend Street Mission Hall. Allen suggested that The Standard send a reporter to one of his talks. The report revealed him as an authentic Souper. As a result he was forced to resign at a General Meeting. A few weeks later the Committee co-opted him on in defiance of the General Meeting’s vote. The Committee resigned, new elections are underway and Wheatly has been nominated for position of Chairman. Allen now feels there is no way out other than by authoritative lead.
