100 Years On - Remembering The Brutality At Ballyseedy

Today (7th March) marks the 100th anniversary of the Ballyseedy Massacre - an outrage perpetrated by Free State counter-revolutionaries against those fighting in defence of the Republic. The massacre was one of the most brutal acts to take place during the counter-revolution, an event that is routinely and less accurately referred to as the Irish Civil War.
