This Anti-Treaty publicity newssheet was distributed to journalists and republican supporters. Written from the republican perspective, it provides a daily account of the conduct of the Civil War and appeared in much the same format and was written in the same journalistic style as the earlier 'Irish Bulletin' (IE CA IR-1-8-2-1-5). It was produced by the republican publicity department and was probably edited by Erskine Childers until his arrest (November 1922), and later by Frank Gallagher and others. The file comprises the following issues: 27 Sept. 1922 (No. 1)-8 Aug. 1923 (No. 267). The series is incomplete but there are multiple copies of some issues.
