IRA Convention
Convention passes a resolution saying that the Army "shall be maintained as the Army of the Irish Republic under an Executive appointed by the Convention". A temporary Executive of 16 was elected headed by Liam Lynch (and including O’Connor, Mellows and O’Malley). HQ is Barry’s Hotel in Gardiner’s Row. They adjourn until the 9th April when a new constitution would be discussed. Arguments emerge afterwards as to the support in the IRA for the Anti-Treaty Executive between Duffy and O'Connor but it would seem clear that the majority of the IRA is Anti-Treaty.
