From this logical conclusion Justice Peters gave judgment against both the Irish Republic (i. e. Mr. de Valera) and the Irish Free State. He directed, instead, that all legal costs arising from the action shall be paid out of the $2,500,000, and that what remains shall then be divided pro rata among the original contributors...
