Attack on woman
The house of a woman farmer near Castletownbere was broken into by eight masked men, the Echo reported on Saturday, March 5, 1921.
She was robbed of £35 and dragged into the yard where her hair was cut with wool shears. The motive appears to be that she visited the police barracks recently and was suspected of imparting information.
