Abstract
The historical consensus on Cumann na mBan, Ireland’s republican women’s organisation, suggests that by the period of the Second World War (or Emergency as it was known in independent Ireland) it was largely inactive. This article explores the organisation’s activity in this period, framing it as part of the group's post-revolutionary afterlife. Through consideration of Cumann na mBan's records, state records from the Department of Justice and newspaper material this article considers the work of Cumann na mBan and other republican women in support of prisoners and their dependents. This article also discusses how existing republican feminist networks, forged during Ireland's revolution, remained central to this prisoner support work throughout the Second World War. It considers how republican women had agency and ownership of a significant area of republican activism through welfare work. It also discusses how Cumann na mBan's status as an auxiliary to the IRA was contentious from its foundation and remained so throughout this period.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
