1943 - 1963 AD Sir Basil Brooke / Lord Brookeborough of Colebrook near Brookeborough in Co. Fermanagh in the south - west of the Ulster Province, who had instigated the "B" Special Police there, was to be the Ascendancy Prime Minister in the 6 Counties "artificially partitioned" from the 9 Counties in the Ulster Province by the British Imperial Government, to continue on with the Ascendancy there.

January 15th: The "Anti - Treaty IRA" members Hugh Mac Ateer, Patrick Donnelly, James Steele and Edward Maguire were able to "escape" from the Crumlin Prison in Belfast in Co. Antrim in the north - east of the Ulster Province in the 6 Counties "artificially partitioned" from the 9 Counties in Ulster Province still under the control of the Ascendancy "Official" Unionist Stormont Government.

March 21st: 300 suspected Irish prisoners were held in Derry Jail in Co. Derry in the north - east of the Ulster Province by the Ascendancy "Official Unionist Stormont Government and 21 of these prisoners were able to "tunnel" out of there, and of these 15 were "re - captured" when they crossed into the 26 Counties in Eire by the Garda / Irish police and locked up, which "upset" many in Ireland as all up there were to be 2,500 Irish prisoners "interred" in the 6 Counties "artificially partitioned" from the 9 Counties in the Ulster Province still under the control of the British Imperial Government and the "Official" Unionist Stormont Governments and also 2,500 in Eire, while the "War "was in progress.  

June 22nd: Proportional Representation was bought in, in the 26 Counties in Eire, which was to create a multiplicity of political "Parties" from now on leading to government "instability" due to the many Party "coalitions" as it seemed the fairer method, but "votes" could be transferred and this defeated the "primary" vote system that had created stronger "individual" Parties and General Elections were held and Sean Mac Cool the Chief of Staff of the "Anti - Treaty IRA" who was locked away was standing as a Republican candidate for the seat in East Co. Donegal, which was still in the 26 Counties in Eire although it was the most "northern " County in Ireland and he went on a "hunger strike," but he did no good as all the "extremists" fared badly. The Munster - Connacht Farmer's political group the Clan na Talmhan under their leaders William Davin and Michael Donnellan won 10 seats and Independent Farmers another 5. The Irish Labour Party also gained seats and the Fianna Fail Party under the leadership of Eammon de Valera "lost" 10 seats winning only 67 this time around, while the Fine Gael Party also "lost" 13 seats winning only 32 against 45 previously. 71 of the seats were now held in total by the many "Opposition Parties" to the Fianna Fail Party's 67 and Eammon de Valera was now not feeling very "secure."  

July 4th: Jack Griffith was machine gunned off of his "bicycle" by the Special Branch and was the "last" fatal shooting in Eire.  

July 9th: The Irish Labour Party was calling on Gerald Boland the Minister for Justice in Eire to release the 3 "Anti - Treaty IRA" prisoners who had been on the "hunger strike" since 24th May, and during the debate he insinuated that "Invasion Plans" had been found during the raid on the German agent, Goertz / Brandy, which was not correct and had distressed Goertz.

July 27th: Eduard Hemple the German Ambassador protested over the release of British and American fliers in Eire, who the Irish Government considered were only on "training flights," while the German fliers were "interred" as they were in conflict.

September: Seamus O Donovan the "Anti - Treaty IRA" sympathiser was "released" from prison in Eire.

October 1st: Constable Patrick Mac Carthy was shot "dead," and an "assassination" attempt was made on Det.

      The British Government introduced "Welfare" for all the people in the 6 Counties "artificially partitioned" from the 9 Counties in the Ulster Province still under their control and Catholics and non - Catholics there began to "share" Air Raid Shelters and actually got to know one another.
