Only a week after the Treaty had been ratified, Dublin Castle, the heart of British Rule in Ireland, is handed over to the Provisional Government (which strictly speaking was headed by Arthur Griffith and not Michael Collins). Cathal Brugha, even though he had voted against the Treaty, is there at 00:23 (he was the Dail Minister of Defence, but now had no cabinet post). At 00:41 the Lord Lieutenant, Lord Fitzalan is leaving. The Black and Tans and Auxiliaries are seen ready to go.
