100 Years Ago This Week In The Irish Civil War
22 October 4 soliders of National Army were killed when their car was bombed near Ferrycarrig, County Wexford
|
|
25 October Éamon de Valera, at the request of the IRA Army Executive, sets up a "Republican Cabinet", formed from Anti-Treaty TDs to: "be temporarily the Supreme Executive of the Republic and the State, until such time as the elected Parliament of the Republic can freely assemble, or the people being rid of external aggression are at liberty to decide freely how they are to be governed"
|
Alas, this set up was more symbolic with no real authority.
|
29 October IRA column of about 300 led by Michael Kilroy retook Clifden in Galway and captured approx.. 100 Free State troops…Irregulars burned barracks & took the rifles before retreating
