Michael, Thanks to Michael Purcell for the articles of 1922 in Ireland. This was an eye opener to me as a relative of mine was shot while in his car because he did not move fast enough when a military person with a gun told him to. He was in his car with his brother preparing to return home. It was the most mindless, senseless of deaths and I never understood what might have precipitated it, nor why the military would be allowed to shoot at unarmed civilians. Your articles illuminate the thinking of the time, and also perhaps the rush to judgement on the part of jittery armed men with little oversight. It was a tragedy I've never understood, but these articles shed a bit of light on the times in general. This took place in Ardee, but I imagine the feelings encompassed all of Ireland at the time. Thank you, Michael. Dee In a message dated 2/20/2010 10:44:17 A.M.
