The Dublin Castle System

The Dublin Castle System was a method used by the British government in Ireland to control and manage the population, especially during the Irish War of Independence. It involved a network of intelligence offices, commonly called "the Dublin Castle," which gathered information on suspected rebels and used surveillance, arrests, and intimidation to suppress resistance. Essentially, it was an organized effort to monitor and weaken opposition through intelligence gathering and covert operations. This system played a significant role in the British authorities' efforts to maintain control during a turbulent time in Irish history.
