[{"data":1,"prerenderedAt":4},["ShallowReactive",2],{"event-plain-canon-thomas-magner-and-tadgh-ocrowley-killed":3},"On December 15, 1920, during the Irish War of Independence, Canon Thomas Magner and a young man named Tadgh O'Crowley were shot dead by an Auxiliary officer, Vernon Anwyl Hart, near Dunmanway, County Cork. Hart was leading a convoy of Auxiliaries to Cork for the funeral of a fallen comrade. The incident sparked outrage and highlighted the brutal nature of the conflict. Hart was later discharged and declared insane by British authorities, but the killings remained a stark reminder of the violence and reprisals that characterized this period in Irish history.",1789333839497]
