The IRA killed District inspector Cecil Blake and his pregnant wife in Gort, Co Galway in a callous cod blooded murder, NOT IN MY NAME.
Also Galway:
Patrick and Harry Loughnane two IRA Volunteers were arrested by D Coy Auxiliaries while thrashing corn at their family home in Shanaglish, Galway.
‘They were first interrogated in Gort RIC barracks’, then ‘the brothers were made carry large stones and run before the lorries, the Crown Forces prodding them with bayonets until they fell exhausted… they were then tied to the lorries and dragged along the road’ to Drumharsna Castle near Ardrahan, where ‘four shots were fired in Moy O’Hynes’ (also called Moyvilla) wood near Kinvara on Friday night, about 6 miles from Gort...
‘Their bodies were taken to a spot near where they were killed and burned, but the Auxiliaries neglected to bury the bodies and instead threw them into a muddy and oil covered pond where they were discovered 10 days later.
‘Evidently the brothers had been savagely beaten and tortured. Two of Harry’s fingers were cut off. Patrick’s legs and wrists were broken. Both their skulls were so fractured that a doctor speculated that hand grenades were blown up in their mouths’.
‘The bodies were hideously mutilated. Patrick was found lying on his back, and Harry on his right side, about 2 yards apart, and 4 yards from the verge of the pond. They were naked, not a particle of clothing remained, save one of Harry’s boots. His once graceful figure was a mass of unsightly scars and gashes; two of his fingers were lopped off; his right arm was broken at the shoulder, being almost completely severed from the body; whilst of the face nothing remained save the chin and lips, and the skull was entirely blown away. The remains were badly charred. Patrick’s body was not charred to the same extent as his brother’s. His back and shoulders remained intact. The limbs of both were charred to such an extent that the bones were exposed, the flesh and sinews being completely burned away. Mock decorations in form of diamonds were cut along Pat’s ribs and chest. Both his wrists were broken and also his right arm above the elbow. Patrick’s face was completely lashed away, so as to be unrecognisable, and his skull was very much fractured, as if a bomb had been forced into his mouth and exploded. The bodies were then set alight in a wood, where it is believed that they may have been still alive. Patrick’s back was the only part of his body that was not blackened by burns. He was evidently thrown on his back before being set on fire. Henry’s body was scorched all over"

More whataboutery, imagine on a provo thread when anyone mentioned an IRA killing all I done was bring up British Army killings there would be outrage from the same exact people.
Do these British Army killing justify the killings of pregnant women by the IRA? Answer me that.0 -

I appreciate Michaels apology it is a great step forward for our country, I believe soon we will see a public condemnation of the IRA by Varadkar.
Irish republicanism has been the greatest disease this country has ever faced wether that be in the 1910s or the 1970s, we should forget about this whole "united Ireland" nonsense it is about time we took pride in our 26 county state that the British allowed us to have and condemn the IRA.
Ah now, you gave yourself away with that one
