IMPORTANT NOTICE. A collection is presently being made by the Carlow Brigade, Irish Republican Army, to raise funds to enable the army and police force to carry out its duties in connection with the preservation of order and protection of the public until such time as the Irish Government is in a position to take over same. The support of prisoners is presently costing £10 per day. The necessity for making arrests is quite evident if the public is to be freed from gangs who are operating for the purposes of loot. Liam Stack (Commandant).
