The Black and Tans brought terror to Tralee 95 years ago this week.
THIS week marks the 95th anniversary of a terrible time for the people of Tralee.
As the War of Independence raged in Ireland, the eyes of the world were fixed on the Kerry capital because of a siege of the town by the Black and Tans.
It was a reign of terror that saw the town’s businesses forced shut, people fired at coming out of Mass, a strict curfew and the town brought to the brink of starvation from November 1 to November 9, 1920.
