Title: Home Office: Irish Branch Files
Description:

Files of the Irish Branch (until 1922 the Irish Office) which was responsible to both the Home Office and the Colonial Office. The Irish Branch was dissolved in 1924 and this series contains those files inherited by the Home Office which have been preserved. They relate to Northern Ireland and cover a wide range of subjects.

Date: 1920-1924
Arrangement:

Files of the Irish Branch were split at the time of its dissolution, those concerning Northern Ireland being passed to the Home Office, and those concerning the Irish Free State being transferred to the Colonial Office. This series, notwithstanding the 'CO' prefix to the file numbers, consists of those files inherited by the Home Office that have been preserved. The series is basically listed in file number order although where, as is frequently the case, there are several files on a particular topic, these are grouped together under the number of the latest file.
