#OnThisDay 1920 Two RIC constables were ambushed & killed by IRA Volunteers as they cycled Newport Petty Sessions in Tipperary. A third officer fled the scene and returned later with reinforcements to collect the bodies. A witness stated that McCarthy shouted “No, no” before being killed.
The two men were:
William Finn aged 22 from Castlereagh, Roscommon.

Hi,
I'm David, I'm from Ireland. I am an avid fan of history. I have my B.A. in History, my M.A. in Military History and Strategic Studies,a Post Qualification Diploma in History and I've been teaching History for five years now.
I wanted to create a podcast that examines, in great detail, major Irish battles and battles allover the world in various wars that Irish people played a significant part in.
Hope you enjoy.
