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.
