    • 21 November 1920 (Bloody Sunday): Collins’ Squad killed 13 British intelligence agents. In retaliation, the Auxiliaries killed 12 civilians in Croke Park.
    • British auxiliaries in Croagh Park later retaliated. Auxiliaries entered Croke park while a match was ongoing between Dublin and Tipperary and open fired on the crowd they did this because he told members of the IRA were present in the stadium at the time. This resulted in the killing of 12 people which included men women and children. This also included Tipperary player Michael Hogan.
  • The Croke Park massacre was brutal,the British forces/auxiliaries forced their way into the stadium and began firing among the crowd of nearly 10,000 people. These crowd fled in many directions. The British forces also shot people outside the stadium so that will restrain people from fleeing the scene.
    made Irish people even more determined and you already were to be free from the British rule.
