The plan revives what in the '80's was termed the eater chantber.". It was this syetein which resulted in the capture and execution of the Phoenix Park colispiretore in 1882. To -day's raids are coneidered to be the initial move ef the Government Under the proclamation suppressing Sinn. Vein organizations.

The proclamation applies to the thirty-two counties and six county boroughs of Ireland. The two nramters of Parliament ar- rested in Dublin were Ernest Blythe, member tor Monaghan North. and Patrick O'Keefe, representativee for the northern division of Cork. They were removed to Dublin Castle, pend- ing the arrival of an escort to take them to Cork, where the warrants for their arrest are supposed to have been issued. Military lorries, bringing prisoners from the outskirts of Dublin, came into the city durieg the day.
