Question

Did the IRA made the Black and Tan run like h**l away from Killeshandra? But before that, tell me what is a 'Black and Tan' and what is 'Killeshandra'?

Answer 1

Cill na Seanrátha is a village in Co Cavan, Ireland

Cill = old word for church

sean = old

rath= old word for fort.

The term Black and Tans (Irish: Dúchrónaigh) refers to the Royal Irish Constabulary Reserve Force (Fórsa Chúltaca Chonstáblacht Ríoga na hÉireann), which was one of two paramilitary forces employed by the Royal Irish Constabulary from 1920 to 1921, to suppress revolution in Ireland. Although it was established to target the Irish Republican Army, it became notorious through its numerous attacks on the Irish civilian population.

The IRA made a successful attack against the British troops there.

Answer 2

A black and tan is an English recruit (who wore a uniform that was black and tan) serving in the Irish constabulary to suppress the Sinn Fein rebellion of 1919 to 1921
