9. Germany would, almost certainly, continue to exploit this partition grievance to the utmost. An attempt to play the part of the supporter to Eire in her struggle to regain Northern Ireland would not deceive Mr. De Valera and his Government, but might impose itself on the more extreme circles in the country. Many of the latter, especially the organised members of the I.R.A., would be only too glad to act as "Fifth Column" with a view to helping to subdue the hated enemy England. Similar activities, at present kept in check, might also receive a new impetus in Northern Ireland and Great Britain.
