An online exhibition has been launched to commemorate the centenary of the Listowel Mutiny.
On June 19th, 1920, fourteen rank and file members of the Royal Irish Constabulary in Listowel mutinied rather than carry out controversial orders issued to them by the Divisional Commissioner for Police in Munster.
This incident – known as the Listowel Police Mutiny – was an important event in the Irish War of Independence.
