IRA casualties from the ongoing War of Independence across the city continued all the way into the July 1921 truce.
On 21 June, Commandant Walter Leo Murphy was shot dead at Waterfall (a few miles from Ballincollig) when an IRA meeting in a local public house was encircled by two carloads of British undercover officers. He shot his way out of the public house but was subsequently killed.
A commemorative plaque erected at Turnerâs Cross to D Company 2nd Battalion commemorates Company Adjutant Charles Daly of 5 Glenview, Douglas Road, who was captured by British forces at Waterfall on 28 June 1921.

Until the onset of major dam construction in the higher elevations of the Mekong basin, its lower, broader reaches constituted the world s largest inland freshwater fishery and the mainstay for the employment, food security and nutrition for 60 or more million people. Tragically, over both of the last two May-October wet seasons, the mainstream experienced unprecedented low flows. In both years the normally reliable flood pulse was insufficient to meaningfully reverse the flow of Cambodia s Tonle Sap River to into its Great Lake, the beating heart of the fishery whose annual catch is directly proportional to its volume during the flood season.
