Meeting by a left-wing Labour Group to discuss setting up a new paper with the aim of exposing the present political system. Argument developed over the policy it would allow. Matt Merrigan wanted it to follow the socialist line. Jack Quillan, T.D., did not want the word ‘socialism’ used as it would not go down well in rural Ireland. Dr. Noel Browne wanted it to be as radical as possible. The opinion of the meeting was that Church influence was the deciding factor regarding what should be published in the press.
