Oath Abolition Could-Isolate Irish Free State Debate
Dublin lawmakers split over a bill to abolish the oath of allegiance to the king with senators warning the Free State could become isolated and lose British ties while others argue the oath’s removal preserves the Commonwealth symbol.

Separately, Ernest Blythe noted many dependents abroad plan to leave and Gallagher Limited announced 200 workers would receive one week’s pay as the firm shuts due to new duty differentials.
