THE BOUNDARY COMMISSION— GATHERING THE EVIDENCE.

The article examines how the Irish Boundary Commission, dominated by chairman Richard Feetham, shaped the final border by narrowly interpreting the Treaty and sidelining nationalist expectations. Topics include the Commission's rejection of plebiscites and Free State evidence, the political miscalculations of Sinn Féin, Britain, and Northern Ireland, and Feetham's hands-on approach to assessing sectarian realities on the ground.
