Sectarian horror story from War of Independence

IN his feature article headlined ‘Sectarian wind up’ (Irish Examiner, June 26), Niall Meehan seems either to ignore or conveniently forget the facts surrounding the killing of Protestants in the west Cork area in the 1920s.

The massacre in April 1922 was blatantly sectarian and anti-Protestant. Mr Meehan quotes a JW Biggs who, in July 1920, said he experienced no hostility.

Also quoted is the moderator of the Presbyterian Church echoing the same sentiments in June 1920.
