1948

In 1948 internment still operated in the South of Ireland and the IRA’s Army Council were all separately imprisoned in the Curragh Military Prison preventing a meeting for three months, thus leading to the dissolution of the IRA under its Standing Orders.


98% of people went to Mass every week and there were only three murders in the South in the space of a year. This compares to sixty annually today.


Time to think about internment for the drugs gangs.
