Lena: You know, Miles, I was looking at some old photos of Cork City, and it’s hard to imagine that over a century ago, the heart of the city was basically a smoking ruin.
Miles: It’s true. In December 1920, British forces went on a rampage, burning over 60 shops and destroying landmarks like City Hall and the Carnegie Library. But the real tragedy wasn't just the buildings; it was what happened on the outskirts, at a family homestead on Dublin Hill.
Lena: Right, you’re talking about the Delaney brothers. It’s chilling to think they were just in their beds when the Auxiliaries broke in.
Miles: Exactly. Cornelius and Jeremiah Delaney were shot right there, without trial or mercy. It was a night of absolute terror that left thousands homeless and jobless.
Lena: It’s such a heavy piece of history, and it’s why people still gather at the memorial on Dublin Hill every December to remember their sacrifice. Let’s explore how that one violent night in 1920 changed the course of the uprising in Cork.
