Scope and content
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.
