The Irish delegation was led by Arthur Griffith, after de Valera, newly upgraded to a full 'President of the Republic' by the Dáil on his request in August 1921, then insisted that as head of state he could not attend as King George was not leading the British delegation.

The situation in Omagh was anathema to the Real IRA whose leadership would have taken a delight in delivering a kick in the teeth to Sinn Fein and the broader republican movement.
