File 11 - Correspondence re valuation

10 items; Typescript

Correspondence with Donal O’Buachalla & Co., valuers, rating and property consultants, 86 Merrion Square, Dublin 2, regarding the valuation of Father Mathew Hall, Cork. O’Buachalla affirms that if ‘the Hall may cease to be used for commercial purposes (bingo) and reverts to being more or less a full-time theatre it might be worthwhile trying for a further reduction in the valuation when this occurs’. (6 Oct. 1972). O’Buachalla later refers to his intention to make a contribution towards the Feis Maitiú in Cork in honour of his parents who ‘had a long and harmonious relationship with the Capuchins at Rochestown and at the Feis Maitiú (where all their five children “performed” during their early adolescence)’. Correspondents include Fr. Senan Dooley OFM Cap., guardian, Holy Trinity Friary, Fr. Anthony Boran OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, and Fr. Benjamin O’Connell OFM Cap.
