At 7am on November 17th, just two days after Richard Mulcahy was explaining to the Dαil why there had been no capital sentences handed down yet, four young IRA men were led from their cells in Kilmainham Gaol. They were: James Fisher, John Gaffney, Peter Cassidy, and Richard Twohig. They had been found guilty of possession of loaded revolvers, waiting, it was claimed, in ambush positions on a Dublin street when captured a few nights earlier...Two facts stood out. Their youth the eldest was 21, the youngest 18 and their rank-and-file status in the IRA. None of them was anything but a footsoldier.(Submitted on July 27, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
