dc.descriptionHolograph letter from Michael McElligott, Keel, Kilflynn, County Kerry, to the Holy Father. Serious complaint against his parish priest, Fr. J. O'Sullivan of Dorney, who has been refusing to attend at funerals, allegedly because a priest at a graveyard was 'only a show off'. His own father and brother, and eleven listed parishioners were buried 'like animals'. The priest does however see to funerals outside the parish when 'rich people' are involved. Emphasising that 'us McElligott's took no part in politics only earning our hire'. (Letter stamped 'returned to' Congregation for Religious, handwritten remark on the letter having been sent by the Archbishop of Dublin on 20 December 1923.) [2 November 1923- 9 January 1924]
