The Treaty had been negotiated by Irish envoys with plenipotentiary powers and required to be ratified by the D il and the British Palace of Westminster Houses of Parliament . The Treaty was approved on 7 January 1922 by a narrow margin of 64 to 57 see Anglo Irish Treaty D il vote . The debates ran from 14 December 1921 to 7 January 1922 but were not publicised until 1972, in all their aggression and rawness . They comprise a vital resource on the psychology of the Irish War of Independence and show the varying ideals that sustained the Sinn F in deputies. Definitions of their understanding of their mandate in 1918 and 1921, and of the Irish Republic Republic itself, are interspersed with the practicalities of devolving power from London to Dublin.
