Letter from William J. Walsh, Archbishop of Dublin to Fr William Delany SJ concerning the move of the Jesuit Fathers from St Stephen's Green to new premises. Remarks ‘On a full consideration of the case I think it is not one that needs the consent of the Holy See. It is not really the establishment of a new house. It is a case of transfer.’. Concludes ‘The only drawback ...is that the Council...of Studies may seize the opportunity of investigating all sorts of things about the new University, and thus delay the business for months...’.
Walsh, William Joseph, 1841-1921, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin
