Under article XII of the
treaty a Boundary Commission was to be set up.
Collins and Griffith had been
led to believe that large areas of the North
would be transferred to the South.
The Civil War and Craig’s
refusal to co-operate delayed the workings of the
Commission until 1924.
However, by 1924 the North
had become established and Lloyd George had been replaced
by a pro-unionist Conservative government.
