| Summary: | Mentions Seán Moylan, the "Jetter matter" and "the Deasy incident". On 18 January 1923 Liam Deasy was captured and sentenced to death by the Free State government; Deasy requested a stay of execution to appeal to his anti-Treaty comrades to end the war, which demoralised them. Liam Lynch also makes reference to the executions of republicans, and "the president" [Éamon De Valera]'s inflexible position. |
