Report written by John J. Nash on the will of the recently deceased Very Reverend John J. Meagher, formerly of Thurles and Annacarty.

As this alteration was not witnessed, the will was not initially admitted to probate until the legacy was allowed to stand. The remainder of the report details the clause written into the will allowing Father Meagher's sisters and sisters-in-law to take one article of furniture or ceramics as a souvenir.

Photocopy of Canon Hayes' report of his experience at the International Catholic Migration Commission, Barcelona, 28-31 May 1952, which he attended along with Father Joseph Bergin representing Ireland on behalf of Muintir na Tíre. Canon Hayes writes that Ireland's problems are different than other countries due to its declining population and its level of rural-to-urban migration as opposed to other countries' issues with the intake of refugees. He writes that he was able to submit Muintir na Tíre's work and positions to sub-committee meetings. Canon Hayes states that the 'Commission brought home to us that it was our duty to prepare our people for their journey and endeavour to get them to countries and places where their Faith would not be endangered', and that an arrangement was made between Muintir na Tíre and the National Catholic Rural Life Congress in the United States to place rural Irish emigrants in rural Catholic homes.
