1920 Jul 1. Clement Patrick Fitzpatrick, late Int., Ind. Army Res. of Off., to be temp. Lt. whilst specially empld.

1920 Nov 21 Bloody Sunday - see J J Fitzgerald Quite oddly, in comparrison to most of the murders, nobody has retrospectively claimed responsibility for J J Fitzgerald's death. A number of the news reports state that they IRA were looking for "Fitzpatrick" and that they settled for "Fitzgerald"

1920 Nov 26 Relinquishes his commission on ceasing to be employed.

It seems remarkably coincidental that CP Fitzpatrick was removed from Ireland within a few days of Bloody Sunday. The others on the list are CH Colley (who later joined ADRIC), JH Bessell, AE Masters . Without further information becoming available, it is not possible to say why they were withdrawn - presumably it was because thier cover was known to be blown after Bloody Sunday.
