Portée et contenu
An Anti-Treaty handbill comprising a poem with a constant refrain asking ‘Who killed Cathal Brugha?’ who died in fighting on O’Connell Street in July 1922.
It reads:
“Who killed Cathal Brugha?”
“I” said Mick Collins,
With a toss of his head
Tis well he is dead
I killed Cathal Brugha.
The second stanza contains a similar refrain in respect of General Richard Mulcahy.
