- In the year 1916 the old I.R.A. ambushed the "Black and Tans" at Kilmichael. They sent a false letter to Dublin telling them that a certain man from Coppeen wanted them. The British had to pass Kilmichael to go to Coppeen. The I.R.A. made preparations. They set a bomb under a bridge there.
When the "Tans" came the bomb exploded and a lorry of them were blown up. They were all shocked. Then the I.R.A. attacked them with their guns. Three of the I.R.A. were shot. Deasy O'Suillivan and McCarthy.
