Scope and content
Statement issued by the Department of Publicity of the General Headquarters of The Irish Republican Army relating to 'the crisis which developed in the leadership of [Sinn Féin] following the stopping of the resistance campaign in February '62'. The crisis was precipitated by a dispute between elements of the Sinn Féin leadership and the I.R.A. Army Council over a statement issued by the Army Council halting of 'The Border Campaign' in February 1962. The Sinn Féin Ard Comhairle wished to issue a statement that none its members bore responsibility for the statement issued by the I.R.A. Army Council. The Army Council was opposed to this largely on the grounds that it would cause confusion and that it would give the impression that there was a split in the Republican movement. The statement outlines in detail the background to the dispute, the delineation of authority between different bodies within the Republican movement and also includes the names of many of the people involved.
