Scope and content
Communiqué issued by The Army Council of the I.R.A. addressed 'To The Irish People' . The Communiqué announces that 'Resistance to British rule in occupied Ireland has now entered a decisive stage. Early today, northern units of the Irish Republican Army attacked key British occupation installations.' The communiqué goes on to outline the causes and nature of the conflict between Ireland and Britain, making special reference to the 'Six Counties', describing the people living there as 'the direct victims of British Imperialism and also as the backbone of the national revolutionary resurgence.' The communiqué goes on to say that 'the foe will use his considerable resources to divide us by fanning the fires of bigotry and sectarianism - twin enemies of Irish Republicanism.'
