Rebel republican troops guarding the Court House in Sligo which they had seized a few

Rebel republican troops guarding the Court House in Sligo which they had seized a few days before in order to prevent a meeting of the Free State party but were unable to do so. In spite of the rebel occupation of Sligo, Mr. Arthur Griffith, President of Dail Eireann, held his meeting in the town in support of the Free State. To do so, detachments of I.R.A. troops with an armoured car and machine-gun were brought into Sligo and closely guarded him throughout his visit. It was really by awe of arms that his meeting was held, and rebel Republicans who had taken the courthouse in order to prevent it looked on helplessly. 17th April 1922
