100 Years Ago This Week In The Irish Civil War

12 March Free State President Cosgrave & Home Affairs Minister O’Higgins gave remarks to the foreign press pointing towards the end of the war.

14 March In response to the renewal of executions, IRA’s Chief of Staff Liam Lynch issues an ‘Amusement Order’ stating “that a time of national mourning be proclaimed, all sport and amusement be suspended, all picture houses and theatres and other places of public amusement be closed … Anyone refusing this order will be treated as an enemy of the Republic.”



14 March Executions of 4 Republicans by a Free State firing squad in Donegal became known as the Drumboe Martyrs.

17 March Despite Lynch’s ‘Amusement Order’, a world heavyweight boxing match between Mike McTigue and Louis Mbarick Fall goes ahead in La Scala Theatre, Princes St, Dublin. Anti-Treaty volunteers try to disrupt the fight but a heavy security presence prevents them.
