The article metnions "Harrel's 'Battle of Clontarf'", although no explanation is given as to what this actually means. Could anyone enlighten us?--Damac (talk) 00:26, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * In a nutshell, "Harrel's 'Battle of Clontarf'" was the confrontation that took place between the Irish Volunteers and the King's Own Scottish Borderers and DMP following the landing of IV arms at Howth in 1914, just before the outbreak of WW1. The DMP officer in charge, Assistant Commissioner W.V Harrel, on his own initiative, called out a detachment of the army. In the stand-off they recovered about twenty rifles but largely thanks to distractions by Darrell Figgis, Bulmer Hobson and Seán Mac Diarmada, most of the arms and ammunition were safely dispersed. The frustration of the soldiers exploded on their return to the city at Bachelor's Walk, when they opened fire on a jeering crowd killing several civilians. Harrel was blamed for the 'incident' and was 'moved on'.RashersTierney (talk) 00:13, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
