Scope and content

Letter to Father Hayes from L.B. McCarthy, Honorary Secretary, Muintir na Tíre Lucan Parochial Council, announcing the annual meeting of the guild on 13 March. McCarthy notes that there has apparently been criticism of the guild's farming scheme, stating 'Facts are: 98% customers are thoroughly satisfied' and 'our greatest curse was that we gave farmers lists [of customers] for each acre... ...expecting 8 tons. This had to be revised to 6 tons 8 per acre. We now find that some of these men had 5 1/2 tons per acre. This meant that they had customers whom they did not supply. Letters in each case were forwarded to these farmers concerned, who in many cases caused trouble by still not fulfilling their commitments.' McCarthy also notes the difficulty of transport, as many customers did not want all of their order delivered at once, and notes that 168 separate house calls were made in Dublin. McCarthy states that he has resigned as secretary in order to concentrate on a thorough check of every customer.
