Sunday November 21 1920, known as ‘Bloody Sunday’, marked one of the most significant events in the Irish War of Independence.

IRA members went to a number of addresses, and shot dead 14 people including nine army officers.

That afternoon, incensed at the outrage, British forces opened fire on the crowd at Croke Park, killing 11 civilians and wounding at least 60. That evening three IRA suspects, held in Dublin Castle, were beaten to death.
