The best thing is for you to delete your original comment, resubmit your new one. Or just leave it as it is now that you have clarified the matter.

I did not mean to include Patrick Ray/Rea as being an individual without information as he has a file in the military archives and his wife and children were awarded £1,900 compensation in January 1922. There is no doubt that he was shot bu the IRA as the file in the military archives was used in the court case to establish that he was dead.<br /><Barry Keanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072330675139146828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-28283654165337688492014-11-29T12:31:22.728+00:002014-11-29T12:31:22.728+00:00if u rob someones land, annihilate a culture and a...if u rob someones land, annihilate a culture and are part of genocide,u have to expect a reaction. get over urself cue bono, when it comes to disappearing, ur mob hav disappeared entire nations, cultures and peoples, although u wudnt think it listening to the corporate historians ireland has harvested this last 30-40 years. do u know how many ships full of food left cork during the 'famine&#Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-65619003711023036072014-11-29T01:12:29.307+00:002014-11-29T01:12:29.307+00:00The key point of Prof. Eunan O'Halpin's re...The key point of Prof. Eunan O'Halpin's rebuttal is that 'just 5%(15) of known fatalities were civilian alleged spies, in Cork the proportion was over 14%(70)'. Professor O'Halpin then states that no historian has challenged these figures. He is correct. <br /><br />However, many researchers have examined the total number of deaths in Cork during the War of Independence and Barry Keanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072330675139146828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-75475101186926621162014-11-13T20:14:14.533+00:002014-11-13T20:14:14.533+00:00They did a good bit of their disappearing in 1922 ...They did a good bit of their disappearing in 1922 when they had complete control of the script.

That said, the very fact that there are such large discrepancies between the three estimates gleaned from these three individual pension applications suggests to me that such figures should be treated with a Alfie Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16403732604779381173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807238897188927967.post-59675705471654780422014-11-11T15:13:05.998+00:002014-11-11T15:13:05.998+00:00It is quite obvious to me why there appears to hav...It is quite obvious to me why there appears to have been more spies and touts executed around cork and it doesn't require a degree to come up with the only logical answer,,,,,there were more touts.

Also, to then leap to the assertion that their eventual execution could be used to suggest that between ten and twenty others were likely killed and secretly buried doesn't really have any credence. Devoid of evidence. <br /><br larry hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837849309156970989noreply@blogger.com
