Irish treaty debate in Dublin signals split views
In Dublin the Dail Eireann heard Gavan Duffy defend signing the treaty while opponents urged rejection.

The debate highlighted a divide over ratification and the treaty’s foreign symbolical implications. A separate Boston report notes Ethel Kimball released after arrest over a same sex marriage case and subsequent re arrest on false statement charges.
