"It is interesting to note that de Valera, and those deputies who followed him, did not cut themselves completely adrift from their former comrades at this stage. They remained members of Comhairle na dTeachtai for nine months after they had left the Sinn Fein party."

Stationery Office 1930:

• 'Document "A" purports to be a note of the proceedings of a meeting held on the 18th and 19th December, 1926 of a body calling itself Comhairle na dTeachtai.'
• 'Document "B" purports to be a note of the proceedings of a meeting held on the 10th December, 1927 of a body calling itself Dail Eireann."'

'Decree to establish the validity of certain acts done and omissions made by Comhairle na dTeachtai' [between 1924 and 1926]
