Originally published in the North Mayo Historical Journal Vol. 2, No. 1, 1987/8 as "The Battle of Glenamoy" In the issue of the Western People, dated the 23rd of September, 1922, the Erris correspondent begins:- "The little barony of Erris, which hitherto has enjoyed comparative peace, if we might except a few skirmishes of scarcely any military importance in the early days of the Civil War, has at length become the scene of military activities.......... The Irwin family, whose house was in the line of fire and was occupied by a bomb-thrower of the lrregulars, had some very providential escapes from death, the father's eyebrows being grazed by a bullet as he was lying in bed. The rest of the family saved themselves by lying prostrate on the floor.</line><line />
