De Valera’s Daring Escape: Rebel Leader Seeks Passage to America

In a bold move, Eamonn de Valera, the cunning leader of the Irish Republican rebels, is reportedly attempting to flee Ireland for America. According to dispatches from Belfast, de Valera has been hiding in the rugged Carlingford Mountains, overlooking the County Louth coastline, where a daily boat service to Holyhead awaits. But this is no ordinary escape. De Valera’s plan involves a clever ruse, with a large force of rebels concentrated in Northern County Louth set to attack, diverting the attention of the Free State authorities and allowing him to slip out of Greenore unnoticed.
