Scope and content

File of material, mainly correspondence, relating to the foundation of the Lyric Players Theatre Trust. The correspondence is between Pearse O'Malley as secretary of the Trust, and L'Estrange and Brett, the Trust's solicitors. There are also correspondence and agreements in relation to the valuation of the Lyric's property by the Revenue Commissioners. Includes copy of counsel's opinion on the possibility of registering the Trust as a charity as its objectives are cultural and educational, citing cases to support that contention (14 October 1960), and a letter from L'Estrange and Brett commenting that the proposed shop would be best owned and managed outside the owners of the Trust (26 September 1963). Also includes second counsel's opinion in relation to the new theatre at Ridgeway Street, which is felt will constitute a strong reason for the continuation of the Trust's charitable status (24 November 1969), and copies in relation to a judgement on a rates appeal between the Lyric Players Theatre and the Commissioners of Valuation, upholding the Lyric's appeal on rates (12 June 1972).
