@borderofmordor @MichaelMcI92861 Sure, but apparently Kelly was friendly with them despite his disagreements, so it may be likely. No lessons learned if we don’t figure out what happened and why. The success of the next phase of the struggle will depend upon how much we learned from the failures of the past.

@js_citizen @MichaelMcI92861 HQ weren’t in the loop much on activities outside Belfast. It’s best not to speculate. Will do and has done no good.

Oglach James ‘Jim’ Lynagh. The greatest of them all. An Irish patriot who fought and died for his country. Murdered by the crown forces in Loughgall. His loss along with the great Seamus McElwaine marked the beginning of the end of serious independent activity outside HQ.

@borderofmordor @MichaelMcI92861 Did Kelly consult HQ before Loughgall? Couldn’t find any information on it.

@MichaelMcI92861 Jim, Patrick, Padraig et al were betrayed. Many point to HQ. There’s a reason South Armagh never consulted HQ.
