Churchill signals allies to isolate South Ireland
Prime Minister Churchill told the Commons that travel restrictions on Eire are the first step in a policy to isolate Great Britain from Southern Ireland and the outer world during the approaching crisis. He said the US had been consulted on Washington’s request to close German and Japanese consulates, and that full support was given. Churchill warned that if a catastrophe hit Allied forces in Dublin, a gulf would separate Britain from the south for generations. The discussion touched on Ulster border security and possible future talks on Irish union.
