Correspondence of Fr. Maurice Dowd OFM Cap., Capuchin Friary, Church Street, mainly concerning the removal of the bridge at Broadstore which would permit the transit of double-decker buses on Upper Church Street and ‘which would open up a great thoroughfare to North County Dublin, as well as to West Cabra, Glasnevin and Finglas’. Other projects referred to in the correspondence include the erection of a statue to Our Lady of Lourdes on the Church grounds and a proposal to use a small park opposite the Church to commemorate Holy Year. Correspondents include Brendan Corish TD, Minister for Local Government, Jack Belton, Lord Mayor of Dublin and J.A. Harbison, Chief Medical Officer, Dublin Corporation. The file includes a clipping from the 'Irish Independent', 7 July 1953, of a public notice re the proposed acquisition of land for the widening and improvement of Church Street.
