100 Years Ago This Week In The Irish Civil War


10 October The Roman Catholic Bishops of Ireland issue a formal statement, supporting the Free State as the lawful and democratic government, denouncing the Anti-Treaty campaign as an unlawful rebellion and denying their fighters access to Holy Communion or Confession.

10 October A Free State officer is shot on the grounds of St. Aidan’s Cathedral,
Enniscorthy, County Wexford after Mass by Anti-Treaty IRA.

13 October Railway hotel in Recess, County Galway was burned down by
Republicans to prevent the National Army from using it for lodging

15 October Directives are sent to the press by Free State director of communications, Piaras Béaslaí to the effect that; Free State troops are to be referred to as the "National Army", the "Irish Army", or just "troops". The Anti-Treaty side are to be called "Irregulars" and are not to be referred to as "Republicans", "IRA", "forces", or "troops", nor are the ranks of their officers allowed to be given. No letters about the treatment of Anti-Treaty prisoners are to be published. The words "attacked, commandeered and arrested" as used to describe their actions are to be replaced by, "fired at,
seized and kidnapped".
