		Prime Minister Eamon De Valera went to London on Jan. 15, 1938, to open negotiations with the British Cabinet for a settlement of the outstanding issues between the two countries.
		Tension was increased by the action of Viscount Craigavon, Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, in calling a quick general election to demonstrate Ulster's opposition to De Valera's demands.
		While Ireland made no definite commitments on defense, it was generally understood that it would take immediate steps for strengthening its defenses by the development of an Irish navy and that these steps would be taken in cooperation with Great Britain.

		However, the Irish Free State, now the Republic of Ireland (see Ireland, Republic of), which was established in 1922, refused to recognize the finality of the partition; and violence erupted frequently on both sides of the border.

		The issue of internment had arisen in December 1970 when the Northern Ireland Government asked London if emergency contingency plans could be drawn up to use HMS Maidstone (a ship anchored in Belfast Lough and used to accommodate troops) as a place of internment.
		When the British Cabinet discussed Northern Ireland for the first time at its 13th meeting of the year, Maudling reported that, although increasing IRA activity was creating "a serious situation" in Catholic areas, "the Army were continuing to keep the situation under control" and there was no mention of internment.
		The Home Secretary, Reggie Maudling, as the Minister responsible at Westminster for Northern Ireland, advised his colleagues that they "had seriously to contemplate" the institution of direct rule if Faulkner's administration lost its authority and was replaced by a regime whose policies were unacceptable in other words an administration led by Craig or Paisley.

	CAIN: Background: Why the Border must be: The Northern Ireland case in brief. Northern Ireland Government (1956)
		As was readily admitted by the Northern Ireland side in a recent debate on the partition issue at Kilkenny (Eire): "In circumstances other than those that exist in Ireland it would be natural to assume that an island the size of this one should be economically and politically a single entity.
		In a united Ireland similar conditions would necessarily prevail because the majority in an all-Ireland parliament would have the same outlook and be subjected to the same influences as at present prevail in Eire.
		The people in the South of Ireland chose, and they are entitled so to choose, to be a Republic; but it must not be forgotten that it was the Irish Free State that seceded from the United Kingdom, and it was the self-styled "Republic of Ireland" that seceded from the Commonwealth of Nations.
