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 Kew York Times reported that in 1934>^ McGARRm had
filed a suit in the New York Stpreme Court against W* FjlKENNEI and
his son, T. A. KENNEY. W. F. KENNEI was designated as former Demo-
cratic politician and ftiend of former Governor JLLEBED E^I^MITH* Th
his suit McGARRITI alleged that the younger KENNEY^ fonnei^ly his part-
/'ner, and the older KENNEY had caused certain ijigproper entries to be
made on the firm<s books, as a result of which false financial state-
ments were issued, irtiich resulted in his being ousted troni the New
York Curb in December of 1932, his firm was dissolved, and his seats
on the Curb and Flroduce &3cchange sold at a loss. HcGABRITY and T. A.
YmJEI forsoed the firm of UcGABRITI & COMPANY <m June 11, 1930, to
deal in securities and comoodities.
The New York Times of Jane 4> 1937^indicated that a
^/private settlement was made in this suit. THOIO^ jAo'NEILL, attor-
ney, represented McGARRITY, and the case was heard before Justice
AARDIC STEUER.
McGABRITY next appear? in the New York Sun on December
1, 1938, under a special Philadelphia despatch to the Sun. McGARRITI,
on behalf of the CIAN NA GAEL, represented as the American wirig of the
IRISH REPUBLICAN BROTHERHOOD, distributed copies of a proclamation to
the Ii*ish people. IteGARRITY asserted that the docuznents had been
widely distributed that week both in Ireland and Britain. The pro-
clamation declared that **The hoar has come for the sv?>reme effort** to
make effective the 1916 declaration of nationhood and the declaration
of Irish independence idiich followed in 1919- The proclamation then
calls "upon England to withdraw her armed forces, civilian officials
and institutions'*, and also calls i5>on "the people of all Ireland^-5w«Hf
to assist us in the effort we are about to make in God's name to coDopel
the evacuation and to enthrone the Republic of Ireland". It is issued
in the name merely, *The Executive of the Irish Republican Amgr"
•
HcGABRITY explained that it had been broadcast by wfl-ii
and other means to the Irish people in Ireland and England, and that .
he had received orders trosi Dublin only last night to issue it here.
He is quoted: "It portends a fight, although I don*t know how many
days it will be before the outbreak. I have no authorily to say so,
but I feel that action is going cn right now in England and. in Northern
Ireland. You will recall that the Easter Week uprising of 1^16 began
on a Monday, but it was not till Wednesday that the American newspapers
:
got word of it. That may be the situation today* We have iio desire /
for Civil War in Ireland. We are not fighting DeVALERA or DeVALERA's''
