 * this is not a definitive total, but rather what could be found in this article.

Status of those killed
Pro-Treaty: 346

Anti-Treaty: 596

Civilians: over 86*

Unknown status: 30


 * Civilian casualties for the Dublin fighting are given as 250, but it is not clear how many of these were killed and how many wounded.

(Statistics are likely to be incomplete, Free State government sources stated that between 540 and 800 National Army soldiers were killed in the war. Historian Michael Hopkinson, in Green against Green, p272-3, states "There are no means by which to arrive at even approximate figures for the dead and wounded. Mulcahy stated that around 540 pro-Treaty troops were killed between the Treaty's signing and the war's end; the government referred to 800 army deaths between January 1922 and April 1924. There was no record of overall Republican deaths, which appear to have been very much higher. No figure exists for total civilian deaths.")

Dunmanway Massacre
Tim Pat Coogan, Michael Collins, p. 359

'It started when an anti-Treaty IRA commandant, O'Neill was shot dead when he called at a Protestant-owned farm near Bandon on 25 April. Three Protestants were shot at Dunmanway and over the next week the latent sectarianism of centuries of ballads and landlordism claimed ten Protestant lives'.

Protestant Catherine Hodder of Crosshaven, to her mother in England, forwarded to British cabinet, "For two weeks there wasn't standing room on any of the boats or mail trains leaving Cork for England. All loyalist refugees who were either fleeing in terror or  had been ordered out of the country...none of the people who did these things, though they were reported as the rebel IRA faction, were ver brought to book by the Provisional government."

On Herbert Woods, "His aunt and uncle had been subject to a lot of persecution and feared an attack so young Woods went to stay wit them. At 2:30 am armed men...broke in...Woods fired on the leader and shot him... They caught Woods, tried him by mock court martial and sentenced him to be hanged...The brothers of the murdered man then gouged out his eyes while he was alive and then hanged him".

Protestant farmers were being "turned out" of their farmers by anti-Treaty IRA parties. They were always re-instated by the Anti-Treaty IRA but, "you never know when you've been re-instated what will happen next".

Hart, p277

'Hundreds went into hiding or fled their homes as a wave of panic, fanned by threats and rumours raced through west Cork. Farms and shops were abandoned and in many cases only women and children and those too sick to travel remained.' One Cork correspondent who saw the trainloads of refugees go through the city noted that, "so hurried was their flight that many had neither a handbag nor an overcoat." (Irish Times, 1 May 1922)

'Most assumed that they were in reprisal for the recent attacks on Catholics in Belfast'. (Belfast Newsletter, 1 May 1922) (Irish Times 29 April 1922)
