| Description: | Letter from the headquarters of the V.C. to officers and members of the Clan-na-Gael, regarding the General Army Convention where it was decided to make the army separate and independent of the Republican government, 16 April 1926. Draft statement, Dublin 29 April 1927, regarding conversations which have taken place ‘with a view to preserving good will amongst the national forces in the present electoral campaign’. These proposals were submitted as a ‘basis on which friction between friends might be avoided and the full national vote polled for Irish Unity and Independence’, (i.e. against the government of the Irish Free Sate). Official statement by ‘Óglaigh na hÉireann’, 10 July 1927, regarding the attempt on O’Higgins life and that ‘the army council and General Headquarters staff of ‘Óglaigh na hÉireann’ desire to state most emphatically that they have no knowledge whatever of this act and repudiate nay responsibility for it…In previous public statements we have stated that our Organisation is prepared to accept responsibility for any official acts, and we have done so’. Extract of statement by Mr. Cosgrave from The Irish Times 5 March 1929 asserting that ‘A deliberate and organised attack has been launched against the foundations of ordered society in this city’ and that ‘if this conspiracy is not crushed, and crushed quickly, we shall be faced with a very serious problem’. Statement by Ó Ceallaigh, Acting Leader of the Fianna Fáil Party in reply to a speech by Ernest Blythe, regarding pensions, 31 March 1930. |
