  As she was being taken by IRA volunteers on a donkey and cart along a boreen towards the place of execution, Bridget Noble was in great distress and cried out for someone to save her. It was dark, early on a morning in March 1921, when people in a remote area of west Cork’s Beara Peninsula heard the anguished cries of the terrified woman who was facing death as an informer.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of her death.
