From the National Archives of Ireland (www.nationalarchives.ie):
On 30 November last, Minister for Finance Paschal Donohue TD visited the National Archives to announce the transfer from his department to the National Archives of 3500+ files relating to compensation claims for injuries, death or damages sustained during the War of Independence or Civil War. This collection contains first-hand accounts by claimants – including medical and personal data – relating to tragic events during a turbulent period, demonstrating that people of all ages, from all and no sides were affected in varying ways during these difficult years.
Work will now begin to prepare these files for public release in April 2023 so stay tuned for updates
Further information about the project is available at https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/f0245-records-for-compensation-claims-relating-to-personal-injuries-or-death-during-the-period-of-the-war-of-independence-and-civil-war-to-be-released-to-the-public/
