We have described at length in our first leading article

the facts of the situation and need not recapitulate them here. We will only add that the long statement which Dr. MacNeill made in the Dail on Tuesday about his resignation from the Boundary Commission does not seem to us to dispose of the positive statement made by Mr. Justice Feetham and Mr. J. R. Fisher that Dr. MacNeill was in agreement with them up to October 17th, on which day the Award was substantially completed. Dr. MacNeil said that he " did not controvert the Feetham-Fisher statement in so far as it confined itself to facts, but he did controvert it most definitely in the very decided colouring which it gave to those facts."
