These amphibious operations showcased a growing military sophistication within the newly formed National Army. Several successful landings were executed in counties such as Cork and Kerry, allowing Free State troops to bypass entrenched Republican defenses and gain strategic advantages. This shift in tactics was instrumental in the Free State's efforts to suppress the anti-Treaty forces and consolidate control during the latter stages of the conflict.",1789333839890]
