Dromkeen Ambush, Irish War of Independence, IRA, RIC, Black and Tans, revolutionary justice
At a sharp bend on the road to Dromkeen, forty IRA volunteers waited in silence. Hidden behind low stone walls and sodden ditches, they watched as a convoy of RIC and Black and Tan lorries approached—symbols of British power rolling into rebel country. Then came the blast. Eleven men were killed in the ambush. But two survived. What happened next remains one of the darkest and most disputed moments of Ireland’s war for freedom. Were they executed in cold blood, or shot while trying to flee?
This episode of the Emerald Chronicle unearths the brutal truth behind the Dromkeen Ambush of 1921. Through battlefield accounts, revolutionary memory, and the silence that followed, we explore the razor-thin line between justice and vengeance in Ireland’s guerrilla war.
