On Friday, April 21st, the Dublin Corporation passed a resolution
condemning the persistent • outrages. The Lord Mayor said that with all due deference to the various parties in Ireland nobody could escape the fact that there was " a spirit of militarism abroad." It was " up to the people to draw its fangs." " Diabolical transactions " were happening in the city night after night. Nobody acknowledged responsi- bility. Working men and women had to get out of their beds and " lie ' on the dirty hallways," fearing that stray bullets might kill them in their hOmes. It would draw tears from a atone- to see some of the eights he had seen. " Whit, in the name of and. is it all abort I We have got rid of the
British army, and we could do without it. Why not get rid of the Irish armies ? . . . If these bullies of the night would clear out I have sufficient confidence in the people of this city that they will see we have peace."
