129 A good illustration of this was John Horgan’s move at this time from being a sympathetic contributor to Studies to being the Irish correspondent for the Round Table, Chatham House’s journal of commonwealth affairs.

137 As early as the autumn of 1921, O’Duffy was making protest speeches in Armagh that his official reports, made in his capacity as liaison officer, to British authorities on various abuses of police authority in Ulster were being completely ignored, and so ‘I say that it is time we should take steps to protect ourselves.’ Young Ireland, 5 Nov. 1921, p. 1. He continued in this tone during the spring of 1922. Although O’Duffy notoriously lacked political acumen, Northern unionists had hitherto been complicit in deliberate British efforts to destabilise the whole of Ireland, both economically and politically, by means of provoking disturbances in Ulster.
