Scope and content
Typed draft of an address on Muintir na Tíre given by Father Hayes in Wexford [see also P134/12/1/2/10/23]. Father Hayes laments the rural economic depression in Ireland, and notes that it exists in England as well. Father Hayes also laments the lack of marriage in rural Ireland which he claims is due to lack of wealth, and condemns the 'propaganda' that has led young Irish people to leave for the cities. Hayes notes that the Minister for Agriculture, James Ryan, is in attendance, but it would take 'a miracle worker to use the present accepted economic position to bring satisfying and permanent relief to Agriculture.' Hayes also congratulates the attendees on their new bishop (James Staunton, Bishop of Ferns, appointed 10 December 1938) and mentions that the 1939 Rural Week will take place in Galway. Includes annotations and corrections.
