Plan Kathleen and the absence of Irish government support

Plan Kathleen lacked Irish government involvement, while cooperation with Nazi Germany offered the IRA a hazardous course.

Notes

Plan Kathleen is assessed as an unpromising scheme for taking Northern Ireland. The Irish government was not involved. Cooperation with Nazi Germany would have put the IRA in considerable difficulty, a danger that some of its members recognized.
