The History Sale 19th April 2016
A printed document dated 13 June 1921, text in Irish and in English, addressed to Mrs.
Clarke as duly elected member (of the Second Dail) for Dublin City (Mid), with the text
of the Oath of Allegiance to the Irish Republic to be taken by each member, signed by
Diarmuid Ó hÉigeartaigh, Secretary, Dáil Éireann; also a cyclostyled Dail summons dated
8.8.21. * This was the Republican oath which caused so much heart-searching during
the Treaty debate, because of the conflict between it and the Oath of Allegiance to King
George required of the deputies under the Treaty. Kathleen Clarke, in her address on
the Treaty, said ‘ I took an oath to the Irish Republic, solemnly, reverently, meaning every
word of it. I shall never go back from that.’ (2)
