| Description | Letter from Hadden to Keane detailing the correspondence in the Irish Times between Hadden and Anthony Coughlan regarding Anglo-Irish relations. Hadden seeks any input of comment from Keane regarding the commentary on the historical view on Anglo-Irish relations and on current status of same. "I have tentatively followed the view that . . . the withdrawel of the Irish Free State was in itself a legitmate act of self-determination, taken by the representatives of Dail Eireann on behalf of the (Southern) Irish people, leaving the Acts of Union to apply only to Great Britain and Northern Ireland." Hadden outlines further his own views on relating this to present day Norther Ireland and invites comment from Keane. |
