An amazing comment that Ronan Fanning quotes in his book, referencing Lionel Curtis, a British official involved in the negotiations.

Sentiment: Critical Analysis
Trigger: Irish revolutionary negotiations
For: Historians and students of Irish history
Key quote: Ronan Fanning, Professor of History at University College Dublin, who wrote a brilliant book on all this called Fatal Path, he's unbelievably scathing about the team.
The host references Ronan Fanning's book to highlight the inadequacies of the Irish negotiating team during a critical historical moment. Fanning's critique emphasizes their lack of preparation and political training, which contributed to their struggles in negotiations.
