Visit of the Director of Naval Intelligence to Ireland. A Note by the Director of Naval Intelligence

1 Aug 1941

2. Security. (a) control of Border. It seems clear that further control of movements of communications across the Border is both impracticable and politically undesirable. As long as the Border remains physically "unsealed" any such measures would be as ineffective as the plugging of a few holes in a sponge, and would only cause irritation with no corresponding benefit. (b) Security protection at Londonderry and L. Erne. Admiral Ghormley recently expressed the opinion, after a visit to Londonderry and L.Erne, that the protection against theft and sabotage at those bases was inadequate.
