A pivotal day in the Irish War of Independence. The impact that the early morning killings, almost exactly 100 years ago to the moment as I write this, had on the castle administration can't be understated. (My own grand uncle was part of the group who assassinated a British Intelligence Operative at Morehampton Road.) The Croke Park Massacre that followed later in the day only served to the Irish publics resolve. Like it's name same up north 50 years later, the British government held a sham enquiry of which no one was ever found guilty ------------- "Sometimes, sh*t happens, someone's gotta deal with it, and who ya gonna call?" |

That's not definitive. The landlord, a Mr Smith, is alleged to have been a Castle informer. I've read the first hand accounts of some of the men who took part (inc. My grand uncle) in the military archives. He's referenced as a spy or intelligence agents in a few of them. Now it's very plausible of course that this how they remembered things retrospectively. It may have helped their conscious' to do so. Alot of the men suffered psychologically in later life. We'll never know for sure. Certainly Lt McClean, who they killed, was a high ranking intelligence agent in the castle ------------- "Sometimes, sh*t happens, someone's gotta deal with it, and who ya gonna call?" |

Interesting, you'd certainly hope that was the case for all of them.
