Was a Sunday. A Bloody Sunday.
Fourteen people watching a football match in Croke Park were murdered by "police" officers of the Royal Irish Constabulary who fired indiscriminately into the crowd. The youngest person to die was ten years old.
More than sixty others were injured.
The murderous spree, which that evening saw three prisoners beaten to death, was in retaliation for the killing by agents of Michael Collins of fourteen members of the "Cairo Gang", a British intelligence unit.
Today three of the previously unmarked grave received headstones.
