Description

Typescript letter signed Eoin Ua Dubhthaigh (O'Duffy) Gárda Síochána, Dublin, to Hagan. Their preparations for the pilgrimage are complete, 246 men are going to Rome; specifying numbers and hotels, and listing the three chaplains accompanying them. Their address to the Pope is in a Celtic style; hoping for similar response as that elicited by the English police force's address. Enclosing their 'Song for the Pope' (not extant). Expressing wish that their welcome and participation in the Pope's Mass will match the English parallel which was well covered in the papers – pointing out that 99% of the 7,500 men are practicing Catholics. Brother Clancy and Hagan are arranging the event. They have permission to march in uniform to the Vatican.
