message: At Joseph Devlin#Home Rule compromised, there is a statement that the 16th had no Irish officers because the General Staff either doubted their loyalty or their competence.  Is this true? --Red King (talk) 12:05, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If true, it's certainly very notable. But it shouldn't be stated in the article without a source. Mooretwin (talk) 12:21, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it can't be true, as many IPP MPs served, e.g. Willie Redmond and Tom Kettle. I'd be flabbergasted if they weren't officers. Mooretwin (talk) 12:24, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It is possible all or most of the Irish officers died at the Somme and other battles, and that the later officers were non-Irish. Tom Kettle died at the Somme in 1916, while Willie Redmond died at Messines in 1917, and both were indeed officers. Carcharoth (talk) 08:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  No Irish officers? 

message: I've just finished copyediting this page. In one or two instances, I've taken a few liberties with the article, (see below); i.e. 'Unit'/'Formation' and 'Divsion'/'Battalion'. If they're wrong, please change them.
1. I've changed 'Unit' to 'Formation'. We're talking about a division here.
2. I changed 'Division' to 'Battalion', (the text mentions a 'Welsh Division'!). I don't think a division would contain another division. So I put 'Battalion' instead. (See OOB for 47th Bde).
3. I am not 100% sure if para 1 of the 'History' section is correct, particularly about training in Fermoy and Buttevant. But the earlier version of thi paragraph did not make sense.
4. I also changed 'Formation' to 'Order of Battle' (OOB) - better choice of words.
