Aftermath of Mime at Carrigaphooca
In the aftermath of
mine explosion at Carrigaphooca, Dalton wrote to Mulcahy saying “The shooting of [Buckley] was the work of
the Squad. Now I personally approve of
the action, but the men I have in my command [do not] … On this account, I
think that it would be better if you kept the “Squad” out of my area.” The
ex-Squad men were sent back to Dublin.
