The deaths in and around Dunmanway in 1922 have always been
shrouded in rumour and supposition. This book seeks to get to the
bottom of them. One thing is certain: Captain Herbert Woods shot
Commandant Michael O'Neill of the IRA on the stairs of Ballygroman
House at 2.30a.m. on the 26th April and killed him. Who was Herbert
Woods and why did shoot an unarmed man? Who was Michael O'Neill and
what was he doing inside the house at that hour of the morning?
What connection had this event to the killing of ten Protestants in
West Cork over the next three nights? Are they connected with the
killing of four British soldiers in Macroom on the same day? What
was the effect on the local Protestant minority? What happened
after Herbert Woods and his Hornibrook relations were arrested by
the Irish Republican Police and disappeared? This book attempts to
answer all these questions. Using previously overlooked evidence it
proves that the real story is a simple one of revenge. It directly
challenges claims of sectarianism and British involvement
presenting a true story of these appalling events.
