HEADQUARTERS FOR RED CROSS
CITY COUNCIL APPROVES PROPOSAL New headquarters for the Red Cross Society at 26 Cashel street were approved by the City Council on Monday evening.

The use proposed by the society came within the scope of the social use and was similar to the use of a property by the Pensioners’ Welfare Association in the same area.
