All files
61-7606 is the FBI’s old main file on the Irish Republican Army. 61 is the classification (treason / internal security in that era). 7606 is the case number. When the paper got too thick they bound it into sections. Joshua Smith’s 2015 release is seven PDFs covering sections 1–32, from 1939 into the early 1990s. A serial is one document inside a section (a letter, teletype, or clipping). The file list follows those PDFs, not the serial numbers.
The 2015 drop includes a second PDF with an embedded text layer for some parts (_text). Same pages as the scan; that copy is omitted from the file list. Word-level OCR differs and search may still hit both.

The Old Clan Na Gael, as outlined in the GAELLIC-
AMERIcAN of March ll, l939, regarded as the authoritative spokesman
for the CLAN NA GAEL in America, disclaims any responsibility for the
present terroristic campaign in England, nor has it promised to sup-
port such.

posed of members of the old organization who sought a more radical
policy. BOLAND, mentioned above, while in the United States previously,

VOLUTIONARY BROTHERHOOD in. Ireland, and the latter organiz&tion nad
severed all connection with the organization here. : As a result, the

fice of the American Commission for Irish Independehce at 4ll Fifth
