When Éamon de Valera returned from the United States, he demanded in the Dáil that the IRA desist from the ambushes and assassinations, which were allowing the British to portray it as a terrorist group and to take on the British forces with conventional military methods.
Keď sa Éamon de Valera vrátil z USA, požadoval v Dáil, aby IRA upustila od prepadov a vrážd ktoré pomáhali Britom vykresliť ju ako teroristickú skupinu a aby prešli na konvenčné bojové metódy ako britská armáda.
