"This Invisible Republic, with its hidden courts and its prohibited volunteer troops, exists in the hearts of the men and women of Ireland, and wields a moral authority which all the tanks and machine guns of King George cannot command." – Daily Herald, November 1919

in 1919 the first Dáil was declared illegal by the British authorities. Following the general election of 1918, the elected members of Sinn Fein took a stand by refusing to take their seats in Westminster, forming their own parliament at home.

Following the ban on the Dáil, Sinn Fein were forced to meet sporadically in various locations, making it difficult to properly conduct business, but they adapted. The ban also brought with it more frequent raids, forcing the government departments to move around Dublin City. Cumann na mBan members were heavily relied upon in this period as both secretaries, in charge of protecting important files and papers, and couriers, ensuring that communication ran smoothly, and discreetly, throughout the country.

The growth of the illegal parliament was an unintended, yet unavoidable, consequence.
