This scene was the reenactment of one of several murders of officers within the Dublin Metropolitan Police G Division (DMP) and the Royal Irish Constabulary committed by Michael Collins' IRA hit squad, The Squad (or known as the Twelve Apostles) during the Irish War of Independence between 1919 and 1920. Prior to the murders, Collins had been receiving files of DMP officers from Detective Sergeant and IRA Mole, Edward Broy, on the 7th April 1919, Broy gave Collins access to the DMP Archives Room and allowed Collins to copy DMP files. As a result, The Squad had identified and killed seven members of Dublin Metropolitan Police G Division: Patrick Smyth - Known as "the Dog", Detective Sergeant, had identified the leaders of the 1916 Easter Uprising, shot near his home in Drumcondra, Dublin on the night of the 30th July 1919. Smyth was taken to Mater Hospital where he told the investigating detectives that he couldn't identified the shooter, he later succumbed to his wounds in hospital on the 8th September 1919. Daniel Hoey - Detective Constable, had led a raid on the Sinn Fein Headquarters for documents, shot as he was returning with a bottle of milk outside the DMP Headquarters on Brunswick Street (now known as Pearse Street), Dublin on the 12th September 1919. Michael Downing - Detective Constable, shot on High Street, Dublin on the 18th October 1919. John Barton - William Redmond - Harry Kells - Laurence Dalton - -- Last edit: 2022-08-13 17:49:46 |
