The Army Mutiny was an Irish Army crisis in March 1924 provoked by a proposed reduction in army numbers in the immediate post-Civil War period.[1][2] A second grievance concerned the handling of the Northern Boundary problem.[3] As the prelude to a coup d'état,[4] the decisions made by influential politicians and soldiers at the time have continuing significance for the Government of Ireland.[5]
