Contains supplemental sheets for proceedings in relation to the boarding or hiring out of children and under the Children Act 1908 [left blank throughout]; Financial Minutes; Statistical Minutes; and proceedings under the Medical Charities Acts. By this time, meetings were generally not held weekly, instead occurring monthly or fortnightly. Very few meetings are recorded for Feb-May 1921. The statistical returns of numbers receiving indoor and outdoor relief, preceding each set of minutes, were still completed weekly, and some supplemental sheets, particularly the statistical minutes, were more frequently completed. The last attended ordinary meeting held is that of 20 April 1920.
Includes:
15 Dec 1920 Master’s report, with item: ‘That the children are now going to the convent national school every day’; Letters from J O’Neill & Sons Ltd regarding a bread price increase, explaining that contracts for goods under government control ‘are subject to any changes that may be made in such control’ . 5 Jan 1921 Master’s report, with item: ‘That Mr Gleeson sent a supply of tobacco and snuff for the inmates at Xmas, and that Mrs Good sent fruit & c for the children and old people’. 19 Jan 1921 L etter received regarding the Board’s r ecent resolution that no goods be purchased in the shop of CJ Barry. This is attributed to a ‘false rumour… that he or one of his employees was implicated in a recent regrettable and discreditable incident that took place in town’. It is added that the ‘slur’ ‘jeopardises the friendly relations that have existed between the different denominations in the town’. Letters read from the LGB and from Dail Eireann [LGB letters not noted in minutes after 2 Feb 1921]
p286 Note: ‘See new book taken by military on 6 April 1921 for minutes of last meeting’.
