#OTD in 1945 – Éamon de Valera responds to Winston Churchill’s victory speech during which Churchill took one last jab at Irish neutrality.
Few outside of Ireland could understand the neutral stance of the Irish Free State during the war. Churchill most certainly did not when he said: “Owing to the action of Mr de Valera, so much at variance with the temper and instinct of thousands of Southern Irishmen who hastened to the battle-front to prove their ancient valour, the approaches and the Southern Irish ports and airfields could so…

“Oath of Allegiance to Crown to Soon Vanish,” Kingston Whig-Standard. February 28, 1933. Page 1 & 12. ---- It Will Become Dead Letter in Anglo-Irish Free State Treaty - Senate Blocked de Valera Move But That Body Now Rendered Powerless ---- (By the Canadian Press) DUBLIN, Irish Free State, Feb, 28. - Sixty days from tomorrow the oath of allegiance to the British Crown will vanish from the constitution of the Irish Free State and become a dead letter in the Anglo-Irish treaty. 
President Eamonn de Valera will effect its disappearance by a motion in the Dail Eireann invoking Article 38A of the constitution, rendering the Senate powerless to obstruct passage of his Oath Removal Bill any longer. The constitution provides that bills which the Senate refuses to pass in such a manner as to satisfy the Lower House will, at the expiration of fifteen months, become law despite the Senate. In the event the Dail is dissolved in the meantime, the waiting period is shortened to sixty days. 
The oath question has dominated every election campaign since the Free State was founded and has caused endless acrimony and bitterness between large sections of the Irish people. 
Section That Offends The section of the Treaty to which so many Irishmen have taken offence says:
"The oath to be taken by members of the Parliament of the Irish Free State shall be in the following form: I... do solemnly swear true faith and allegiance to the constitution of the Irish Free State as by law established and that I will be faithful to H. M. George V, his heirs and success by law, in virtue of the common citizenship of Ireland with Great Britain and her adherence to and membership of the group of nations forming the British Commonwealth of Nations." 
It was on this section that Mr. de Valera and his followers in 1921 founded their objection to the treaty and refused to recognize it. William T. Cosgrove and his party, however, found no cause for complaint in the section and insured that the oath clause in the constitution which was framed later should be a strong one. 
Made Mandatory Article 17 of the constitution made the oath mandatory. The Republicans refused to take it and remained outside the Dail, leaving Mr. Cosgrave and his adherents with a clear field. 
For a while the Republicians pursued a policy of abstention, contenting themselves with getting elected to the Dail and boycotting the Assembly. At that time all the Republican forces were concentrated in one organization, styled "Sinn Fein" (literally "ourselves alone"), but they grew tired of abstention and loss of political capital in the few years that followed. 
After the 1932 elections when Mr. de Valera found himself heading the Government for the first time he immediately attempted to remove the oath. He was blocked by the Senate, He is now in a position to force removal of the oath but is still faced with a possibility that this move will fail to satisfy left wing extremists including the old Sinn Fein,

Bridie, did you get that new hat yet?
'In wider Irish society workers like Bridie, or the women organised by the IWWU, were like a puzzle piece that did not fit into the broader picture of nationalist imagination of Éireannachas (Irishness) ...' - Klara-Maeve O’Reilly

Pro-Israel Twitter is calling for Ireland to be conquered to 'solve the issue of living space' and so they will 'no longer make fun of Israel'.

"Abortive Attempt To Blow Up Armagh City War Memorial," Kingston Whig-Standard. May 7, 1934. Page 9. --- Attributed to Members of Irish Republican Army From Free State ---- ARMAGH, Northern Ireland, May 7 - (CP Cable) - An abortive attempt early today to blow up the Armagh city war memorial was attributed to members of the "Irish Republican Army" who motored from the Irish Free State and sped back across the frontier after cutting telephone lines leading to the Free State.
It was recalled the Government of Ulster recently banned erection of a memorial at Carrichmore, Tyrone, to Irish Republican Army men who were killed in the uprising of 1916.
Armagh's citizenry were awakened by the explosion caused when one of two land-mines brought by the raiders exploded and partially wrecked the steps of the memorial. But the other failed to explode and the bronze figure of Peace was undamaged.
The bombers took the precaution while on the way to Armagh to waken a doctor and force him to stand by in case of injury to one of their number. As police and inhabitants rushed from their homes the invaders drove off with the doctor, dropping him at the Free State border.
