Clonmult
The twelve IRA men killed were Richard Hegarty (Garryroe); Jeremiah Aherne (Midleton), Christopher Sullivan (Midleton); Joseph Morrissey (Athlone); Michael Hallahan (Midleton); James Glavin (Cobh); John Joe Joyce (Midleton); James Aherne (Cobh); Michael Desmond (Midleton); Donal Denehy (Midleton); Liam Aherne (Midleton); David Desmond (Midleton). Two of those captured (Maurice Moore and Patrick O'Sullivan) are executed in Cork on the 28th April.
Hart says that the British claimed that there was a false surrender by the IRA and some policemen were shot as they went to accept the false surrender and that "twelve men were dead and four wounded before army officers got the enraged policemen under control" (Hart (1998), pg 98). Hopkinson says that the column was betrayed but Hart says that the Intelligence Officer of the Hampshire Regiment tracked them down. The IRA believed that they were betrayed and killed six people as informers (including Michael O'Keefe) in the Midleton area in the period after Clonmult. (Abbott does not give any RIC or Auxiliary deaths at Clonmult so it would seem that the RIC casualties - whatever about the military - were not fatal.)
