Vinny Byrne, Jacob’s biscuit factory

When we came out on [Malpas] street, a lot of soldiers’ wives and, I expect, imperialistic people – men and women – came around us. They jeered and shouted at us. One man in the crowd was very aggressive. He tried to take the rifle off one of our party. Lieutenant Billy Byrne told him to keep off or he would be sorry. The man, however, made a grab at the rifle. I heard a shot ring out and saw him falling at the wall.

Thomas Pugh, Jacob’s biscuit factory

The women around the Coombe were in a terrible state, they were like French Revolution furies and were throwing their arms round the police [prisoners], hugging and kissing them, much to the disgust of the police.
