| | Its constitution was amended in 1873; it was thereafter to be governed by a partially elected, eleven-man Supreme Council, representative of its seven British and Irish electoral divisions; members swore to regard this Council as ‘the Government of the Irish Republic’. | | | Riven by continuing internal squabbles, the IRB was unable to exploit the weakness and divisions in the constitutional movement following Parnell’s divorce scandal, 1890-91. | | | After World War One, they argued that it had served its purpose and was no longer needed, and that the Dail government - established January 1919 - should control and direct the Irish Republican Army (IRA). |

This provided an alternative administration when British government was rapidly breaking down except in the northeastern counties. | | | A large proportion of the Irish police resigned and were replaced by English recruits, known from their temporary uniforms as the Black and Tans. |

President Fenian founder John O’Mahoney (a former Colonel in the 69th New York of the Irish Brigade), and set up various provisional government agencies including a Congress and a Cabinet. | | | In November, 1865, Roberts met with President Andrew Johnson and received his support in that Roberts was assured the United States would “recognize the accomplished facts.” In other words, should the I.R.B. succeed in capturing Canada, the United States would recognize the new government as the Irish Republic in exile. |
