Lieut. John Connolly

John Connolly was a Lieutenant in the Bandon Battalion of the local IRA. Lieut. John Connolly was arrested at his cousins farm house, in Fitzgerald’s of Maulnaskimlehane , on the 23rd September 1920. Lieut. Connolly was taken into the barracks at Allen Square, where he was brutally tortured and interrogated for a full week.  On the 1st of October he was forcefully taken to the Bandon Park and executed without trial or charge. A steel cross still marks the spot in the Park where he was murdered.
