I.R.A. Army Council Archive 1924-5, 1929-31This is a central file of documents sent to and issued by the IRA's Chief of Staff, who for much of the period covered was Moss (Maurice) Twomey. The documents were filed (or 'dumped') in groups and there is some overlapping of dates. For the periods covered, this file gives a meticulously detailed account of all the IRA's activities and internal procedures. Outgoing letters and instructions from the Chief of Staff are generally in carbon copy; incoming letters are some times in manuscript and sometimes in typescript. Most letters are signed with initials, if at all, or by military position, but most of the writers can be identified by anyone familiar with the IRA's personnel. Many are on headed IRA paper. almost all letters are carefully dated whether by the writer or the recipient. There are over 300 documents, extending to over 500 pages. There is a gap between October 1925 and April 1929.The range of documents is very broad, and the following is intended as no more than an outline guide.(24.3.1924), 3rd Western Div. to C/s, interesting letter about funds needed to pay legal bills for Jock Leonard, in prison for shooting of D.I.

If they had told us that the money was not available we would be satisfied, but the position is that on the strength of it coming we incurred debts, and borrowed extensively. Now we are in a mess ... You can scarcely appreciate the mental torture and uncertainty we have gone through for months past. It has nearly finished me.
