The Death of Seán Treacy | Oct 1920 - Episode 29
In October 1920 the new British intelligence structure operating from Dublin Castle closed in around Dan Breen, convinced he was responsible for the killing of a high ranking RIC officer in Cork. He would be hospitalized after a dramatic battle in Drumcondra but British agents would continue to stalk his close friend Seán Treacy.

God bless ye.
Treacy even outnumbered and outgunned still managed to take one of his attackers with him. Breen and Treacy were true Irish heroes. If only we had men like that now.

They weren't attacking him, they were trying to arrest him, and Breen was a murderous psychopath, nothing more.
