The North-Eastern Boundary Bureau was set up on the authority of a Minute of the Provisional Government dated 2 Oct. 1922, authorising Kevin O’Shiel, then Assistant Law Adviser, to take all necessary steps for the collection and compilation of data in connection with the Boundary Commission. O’Shiel remained Director of the Bureau until his appointment to the Irish Land Commission in Nov. 1923. From Nov. 1922 until the British Government suggested a conference on the Northern question, a 'Weekly Bulletin' was issued to the press, which dealt with current controversy on the boundary or partition questions. It analyzed the facts or financial statements which might be relevant to this issue. In this and all other publications which were issued from the Bureau, all acrimonious arguments were omitted. The literature was specially designed to remove the Northern question as far as possible from the realm of heated controversy and make it a matter of reasoned political argument. The 'Bulletin' was greatly appreciated by the press. The material it contained was often used, as was intended, in an unacknowledged form, while some papers frequently published the 'Bulletin' in full. Copies of the 'Bulletin', in addition to being sent to the press, were also sent to Consuls, agents in the northern counties, and other interested parties. The 'Bulletin' was discontinued when the Boundary Commission became a matter of public controversy. The file also includes ‘North East Ulster, The Truth about the Boundary Commission. The Treaty’. A cover letter indicates that this statement was sent to an editor by the North Eastern Boundary Bureau on 7 Nov. 1922

The file comprises an incomplete of run of this weekly publication published in Dublin. With numerous single sheets or clippings from selected editions.

Handbill-style copies of the 'Freeman’s Journal' and 'Evening Telegraph', 1-10 Apr. 1922. Following an attack by armed Irregular republicans, these pro-Treaty publications appeared as cyclostyled typescript handbills which were pasted on walls all over Dublin city. The papers mainly contained editorials referring to the attack on the newspaper premises, expressed defiance of those responsible for the assault, and assertions that the papers would appear in some form or other. Reference was also made to the need to fight ‘tyranny in whatever garb it appears’. It was reported that republicans later went about the city tearing down the editorials wherever they were posted.
