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 Irish, as one of our poets has written , brought no
treason to jsnerica. They have no need to how low for the
oart they have taken in making this nation the greatest on
earth, nor have they any need to feel ashamed of the part
their offsprings are playing now to maintain American ideals
and institutions.
Kr. Brennan struck the proper note in his statement about
the present situation in Ireland when he said that so long
as the evil of partition continues in Ireland such incidents
as were reported in the ne\rrspapers last v/oek' about outbursts
of emotion when iunerican soldiers vrere seen on the streets of
Belfast, are inevitable.-
A country that is doliboratoly divided and its national
V7ill sot at naught by a ;ovommant that has follofrod the sort
of rule for its ov^ selfish ends for centuries cannot but be
subject to discord and disaffection.
Had thj Uriitcd states, foilovdn^ the Civil Vier, sot up a
govormcntal scgrasation policy betv/con the l!orth=jrn otatcs
and tho Southern States, it is easy to visualize vjhat tho
conditions inihis country vJ-ould have boon during tho last
scventy-soven years.
T;hGii tho carpot-baggors invaded the Southern States and
took over ihoir administration thoro v;as nothing but strife—
the natural outcome of the imposition of conditions in tho
South by the victorious l^orth, v/hich tlic Scnchorricrs regarded
as tyrannical.
^Lct tho carpot-baggor government be removed frm tho Kor-&i
of Ireland, v;itli the olinlnation of iiic boundar^r that v/as
;:>lacod round it for the vicious purpose of Irish disunity,
and there vrill be no noed for Irish officials in.Washington or
ahyv/herc else having to spe;ak in defense of thoir people's
rights.*^ \
