''The Spy in the Castle'' Broy (Col. Eamon) An extensive typescript statement, approx. 180 pp. foolscap, with some m/ss. deletions and corrections, apparently a draft of his statement to the Military History Bureau concerning his part in the events surround the Easter Rising. A document of considerable interest and importance, Broy later a Garda Commissioner, was a civil servant in Dublin Castle, and supplied Michael Collins with vital information from the heart of the British intelligence operation. It was Broy in 1919 who actually brought Collins into the Castle at night to see how the system worked. Broy's position enabled him to warn Collins repeatedly about impending raids. When he was uncovered in 1921, he was imprisoned, but Collins arranged for his release during the Truce, and he accompanied Collins to London during the Treaty negotiations. The statement covers Broy's family background, his joining the Dublin Metro-politan Police in 1911, his functions in 'G' Division, the organisation of the R.I.C., its personnel, his knowledge of the events of Easter Week, the Casement landing, the Volunteers in Dublin, the Citizen Army, events after 1916, his warning to a Volunteer he knew that De Valera was about to be arrested, death of Thomas Ashe, his direct contacts with the Volunteers, 'German Plot' arrests, first meeting with Michael Collins subsequent conversations, a great deal of interesting first hand material about his contacts with Collins, the occasion when he brought Collins into the Castle, his subsequent arrest, etc., etc. As a typescript, w.a.f. * A historic document of the first importance.
