treaty ports, harbour, aviation, and storage facilities in Berehaven, Queenstown (Cobh), Lough Swilly, Haulbowline, and Rathmullen reserved to Britain under the
Anglo‐Irish treaty. Other facilities were to be granted in time of war. During the treaty debates, these provisions were particularly attacked by Erskine
Childers.
Proposals in 1927 and 1932 to return the facilities were rejected by the admiralty. In 1938, however, the chiefs of staff, citing cost and the difficulty of defending the installations against a hostile hinterland in wartime, overruled admiralty objections. When
de Valera refused to sign a defence agreement because of
partition, the ports were returned unconditionally.
