Liam Mellows, Rory O'Connor, Dick Barrett and Joe McKelvey were executed #OTD 8 December 1922 in Mountjoy Prison in reprisal for the killing of Seán Hales T.D. by republican forces the previous day. All four were captured following the fall of the Four Courts in June 1922. 1/4

[FourCourts100 @FourCourts100]

Reporting on the executions, the Irish Examiner said: “It is a sad comment upon the tragic sequence of events that representative Irishmen…should be driven to impose upon their own countrymen penalties of a severity more dreadful than those of an outside governing authority.”
