100 years ago on the 19th of April Sean Bergin and Stephen McDermott were executed in the Woodlands of Loughglynn by Crown forces after they surrendered. Toby Scally was shot in the foot, fell into a drain and got away.
Joe Satchwell also surrendered, was arrested and sentenced to 15 years in jail. Like the others he was severely beaten and shot in the foot. Here is a video we done to help commemorate the terrible events.
A big thanks to Shane Browne who edited and put all the pieces together for us.
