Not quite "Giok"
Collins had determined to carry on secretely supporting the IRA in the North of Ireland after the Treaty was ratified, seeing it as merely "a stepping stone to freedom".
People like Carson (not Carter) and his loyalist volunteers had declared their armed opposition to a law passed by the British Parliament and the Army Officers in the Curragh declared to be willing to disobey the orders of the same body. Why was this not treasonable if Democracy ruled in Britain back then ?
