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 Corkâs Beara Peninsula heard the anguished cries of the terrified woman who was facing death as an informer.
This harrowing account emerged as I interviewed Beara people for a book about Bridget Noble, who was abducted and killed during the War of Independence. This year marks the 100th anniversary of her death.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. It s one thing to know the earthmoving products your company produces do exactly just that: Move earth.
But it adds more perspective when you can confidently quantify what your products in this case, off-the-road (OTR) tires manufactured by Bridgestone Corp. actually do.
According to Rob Seibert, president, OTR, U.S. and Canada, Bridgestone Americas, the company s OTR tires move 1,000 tons of material per second across the globe.
That s a lot of material movement. We take great pride in knowing that, and that s a testament to the strength of our product portfolio, Mr. Seibert said.
And although Mr. Seibert is new to his position he succeeded Bridget Neal as the head of OTR last November he knows the portfolio well. He not only worked in the mining industry prior to the tire industry, he also has served in roles of increasing responsibility in the OTR business unit since joining the tire maker in 2015.
