In the absence of Andrew Jameson, Captain Robertson, Vivien Brew-Mulhallen and Miss Wilson met Eamon de Valera. He had postponed the opening of the Memorial Park because he thought a ceremony such as the British Legion had contemplated was inadvisable with affairs at present. The Trustees expressed complete agreement with this. Also discussed proposed grant of £10,000 from the Irish Government for completion of the War Memorial and appropriate schemes for spending the surplus funds.
