The following letter was read from the Secretary of the Cork Athletic Grounds: - ‘’Cork, December 20th 1930. Dear Mr. Byrne, I am directed by my directors to ask you if you could arrange to fix with your Finance Committee a date to meet them. They wish to discuss with them the extension of lease of above Company. Thanking you in anticipation. Yours faithfully,
J.J. Buckley, Secretary’’
After discussing the matter at length, the Secretary was instructed to send the following reply:-‘’5th January, 1931. Dear Sir, in reply to your letter of 20th Dec. which I placed before my Finance Committee at their meeting on Saturday, last. I am directed by them to inform you that they consider no good object would be served in receiving a deputation of your Directors at this time ,as they feel they are not in a position to discuss the renewal of your lease and they do not consider it would be a proper course to tie the hands of the Finance Committee in power at the expiration of the lease. They also feel, if the expansion of our Show continues ,which they hope it will, that, at the expiration of the lease ,the Grounds now used by your Company might be of virtual importance to the Society. Yours faithfully’’.
In connection with the suggestion made that a Works Committee for the Grounds be appointed , it was decided that the Finance Committee for the grounds be appointed ,it was decided that the Finance Committee should constitute the Works Committee and that inspections be made at various times of the work being carried out at the Show Grounds and that the Secretary be instructed to notify the members the appointed day and hour of such inspections.
A report from the Secretary on the condition of the shed, known as the ‘’Sheep shed’’ was read and on his recommendation ,after going into the report ,the Committee decided to grout with concrete the stones laid at the outer edge of this shed and at the Railway side to put in a dwarf concrete wall underneath the existing partition at a total cost of £32-15-0, on the motion of Mr. E.J.
