Milestone of the Revolution: Katie Carroll and the IRA
March 19, 2007
Anne Dolan professor, history, Trinity College

Anne Dolan tells the story of Katie Carroll, a young woman who was sadistically murdered by the Irish Republican Army in 1921 and may have been a British informant. Dolan asserts that most historians have not appreciated the significance of the brutal turn that the Irish uprising took after 1919, and that by choosing to kill people in a particular way, the IRA changed the terms of war in Ireland.
