IRA Witness Statement On 19th February 1921, Michael Walsh, Douglas Road, was taken out of the Cork Union and shot dead .Information about this spy was discovered by using captured mails. He was also observed by some of our intelligence men going into police barracks.
IRA Witness Statement Another such individual came under notice and we got orders to deal with him summarily. As he was walking along the Lower Road, he was fired upon and wounded by two men from "A" Company, but he managed to reach the protection of the police, who had him conveyed to the County Hospital. When this information reached the Brigade Staff, immediate orders were issued that the full penalty must be paid forthwith, hence two men were sent to the hospital where they shot him to his death. This action proved to the others that spying activities were highly dangerous.
