Highly Important I.R.A. Army Council Archive 1924-5, 1929-31 This 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. Swanzy in 1920; (3 May 1924) Chief of Staff to O/C. Limerick County, setting up a new Limerick command, with code work; (21 May 1924) O/C.

No. 2 Area, Ulster, accepting his resignation (after 'justified strictures' on his performance); (April 1929) Letter signed 'P', probably Peadar O'Donnell, mentioning India and Nehru, discussing his own need for independence. 'I had to jump clear of things to follow my own vision, believing that a narrowing deadening insurrectionism is paralysing our revolutionary possibilities.' With a page of 'Notes for fraternal delegates to Birmingham Conference.'; (12.8.1929) Adjt. Gen. to 'L.P.', seeking details of U.S. 'Timthire' (representative) of men who got into USA 'illegally' 1918 - 1921, etc; (5 Sept. 1929) 'J.B.'

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. Indeed I want to close it all, and would have got out, but it would only be leaving others in a hole,' etc. (April 1930) Points for Speaker, Easter Sunday in New York, 3pp., with a further page of notes of matters to be raised; (26.4.30) notes on American engagements signed 'R', probably in Frank Ryan's hand; (4.6.30) unsigned 3pp personal letter to 'An Timthire' (USA) probably from Moss Twomey, discussing the political situation and relations with De Valera making it clear that Clan people who hope for an arrangement with Dev. are wrong as he is moving towards Free-Staterism, etc; also same date, official Army Council despatch to 'An Timthire,'; (31.3.31) very detailed 3pp typescript to Chairman, Army Council, from new York, evidently from 'Timthire' discussing various issues raised in previous message (lacking last page).
