The Clonmult Ambush occurred on February 14, 1921, during the Irish War of Independence. British forces launched a surprise attack on a training camp of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) volunteers in Clonmult, County Cork. The engagement resulted in substantial casualties for the IRA, making it one of the costliest encounters for the republican movement during the conflict. The ambush was a severe blow to the IRA's operational capacity in the region and remains a somber reminder of the intense fighting during Ireland's struggle for independence.
