‘Shot down like a dog’ – The Finglas Riot of 1913
‘Hundreds of rioters advance on the two lone policemen in a darkened Finglas street, the only light coming from the windows of the pub.
‘The police retreat in the face of a barrage of stones and sticks hurled by the huge crowd; more stones are hurled at the pub shattering the plate glass windows. The two police take refuge around the corner of the pub but the crowd is still after them.’
Christopher Lee looks at a neglected episode of the 1913 Lockout.
