Massacre in West Cork
The Dunmanway and Ballygroman Killings
Langbeschreibung
The deaths in and around Dunmanway in 1922 have always been shrouded in rumour and supposition. This book seeks to get to the bottom of them. One thing is certain: Captain Herbert Woods shot Commandant Michael O'Neill of the IRA on the stairs of Ballygroman House at 2.30a.m. on the 26th April and killed him. Who was Herbert Woods and why did he shoot an unarmed man? Who was Michael O'Neill and what was he doing inside the house at that hour of the morning? What connection had this event to the killing of ten Protestants in West Cork over the next three nights? Are they connected with the killing of four British soldiers in Macroom on the same day? This book attempts to answer all these questions.
Barry Keane is a Corkonian, a History and Geography teacher, and the author of a number of books and articles across many subjects. He has had a twenty-year interest in the geography of the Protestant population decline in post-independence Ireland.
