TRUSTEES EMPOWERED TO HOLD ENDOWMENTS AND OTHER PROPERTY FOR THE CHURCH OF IRELAND The Diocesan Councils direct the attention of Parochial Secretaries and Treasurers to the fact that there are in existence two bodies of trustees empowered to hold property on behalf of the Church of Ireland, namely the Representative Church Body, Church of Ireland House, Church Avenue, Rathmines, Dublin 6, and the Church of Ireland Trustees, 61-67 Donegall Street, Belfast, BT1 2QH. Full information will be supplied gladly by the Diocesan Office, and the councils hope that there may be handed over to one or other of these bodies all endowments and other property now held by various parochial trustees throughout the Diocese and all other new funds that may be raised for endowments or other church purposes. The Representative Church Body was incorporated by Royal Charter following the disestablishment of the Church and can receive money and other personal property, and to a limited extent real property, given or bequeathed for the use of the Church of Ireland or any purpose connected therewith. The Church of Ireland Trustees is an incorporated body in Northern Ireland, which can receive money, property and other assets given or bequeathed for the use of the Church of Ireland principally, though not exclusively, in Northern Ireland. The Board includes representatives from the Dioceses of Armagh, Clogher, Connor, Derry and Raphoe, Down and Dromore and Kilmore. The Executive Secretary to the board is Mr D H A Cromie, Church of Ireland House,
