Correspondence between 'Irish Equity' and Arthur Shields, in letter dated 7 July 1951 from Dermot K. Doolan, General Secretary of Irish Actors Equity Association addressed to Arthur Shields, Ashford Castle Hotel. Doolan writes 'One of the rules states that all American film artists are obliged to join Irish Equity and pay an entrance fee of £50 (fifty-pounds), and a subscription of ten pounds for the year. In letter dated July 10th 1951 Shields replies that he is an Irish national. In letter dated 12 July 1951 Doolan responds that 'I am to state that under the Citizens' Act of April 10th 1935, you are not a citizen of this country, but a citizen of the United States of America. As you are aware, you carry an American passport for entry into this country.' In telegram dated 13 July 1951 Doolan writes 'External affairs has confirmed your Irish Citizenship letter of July 12th cancelled stop American fees do not apply to you.'
