Some observers in Ireland have indicated that the 'No' vote was merely a 'protest' vote against the political establishment that tried to expedite the treaty into law without their being sufficient debate.

In 1953, the year following his marriage to Jane Ryan, a fellow student at Trinity, he won joint first prize in the Irish section of the Unknown Political Prisoner sculpture competition, and subsequently his work was included in the Irish Exhibition of Living Art.
Trevor acknowledges the influence of James Joyce on his short story writing, and 'the odour of ashpits and old weeds and offal' can be detected in his work, but the overall impression is not a gloominess, since, particularly in the early work, the author's wry humor offers the reader a tragicomic version of the world.
In his third collection of stories, Angels at the Ritz, Trevor makes his first reference to the Northern Ireland Troubles, and in the following collections his observations deepen and darken, especially when the stories illustrate the coercive power of history.
