Dearg code telegram from Joseph P. Walshe to Robert Brennan (Washington)
concerning Ireland's attendance at the San Francisco Conference
(No. 43)

DUBLIN, 24 February 1945

1 Not printed. On 22 February Brennan sought instructions from Dublin as to his reply if questioned on the possibility of Ireland's attendance at the San Francisco conference which led to the establishment of the United Nations.
