Fascinating photography project revisits sites of War of Independence killings in Cork 

Dara McGrath's exhibition at the Crawford Art Gallery features the stories of those who died on both sides of the conflict, as well as bystanders caught in between 

Dara McGrath's photographs of the Cork sites where killings took place are accompanied by explanations of what happened.

One summer’s night, a young woman of nineteen was using the last of the fading light to do some sewing at her window on the first floor of a house on French’s Quay in Cork.

Suddenly, there was an outburst of gunfire: Josephine Scannell, the young woman at the window, was hit in the head by a stray bullet and died shortly afterwards. It was a Thursday night, June 23, 1921.
