In between the Mother's Day and the State Referendums celebrations, you might think that we'd be too busy to pay attention to our lil' corner of the interweb but no, we're not - dedicated (or is it stubborn?!), if nothing else!
We're working on a 20-part post for Wednesday, 13th March 2024, and we'll be referencing a Post Office raid by the IRA in late 1920 which also showed results for them in the following year, plus a good few other bits and pieces...
1920, Kerry - what might have been wasn't, because of a lack of ammunition...
1955 - a pro-British loyalist in the Occupied Six Counties is challenged over his remarks about Sinn Féin and British citizenship...
1921 - British propaganda after a Sinn Féin Judge was assassinated by their forces in Ireland - they eventually compensated his wife, financially...
1921 - a farm labourer was shot dead by a British Army soldier, but the deed was witnessed by an IRA Volunteer...
1922, Belfast - this Crown Servant was in pensive mood as he had just attended the funerals of two of his colleagues, and perhaps he wasn't paying as much attention to those around him as he normally would do...
So put away the Ma's Day drinks, let your pen rest until the next State referendum or vote, and give us a shout on Wednesday, 13th March 2024, but a quiet one, if ya don't mind : our heads will probably still be hoppin'...!
Thanks for the visit, and for reading ; see y'all on the 13th!
Sharon and the team.
