Note
Arthur Griffith actively discouraged Irishmen from fighting with the British army in the First World War, as a result of which the 'Sinn Féin' newspaper was banned in December 1914; Griffith promptly replaced it with 'Scissors and Paste' and later with 'Nationality', both of which continued to promote Sinn Féin policies. In 'Scissors and Paste', Griffith evaded British censorship by sampling articles from the uncensored press and then juxtaposing them so that readers could draw their own conclusions
