March 22, 1922 – Rory O’Connor’s IRA Rebellion March 22, 2025 Unipro2013main Irish History </p> <h2>March 22, 1922 – Rory O’Connor’s IRA Rebellion</h2> <p> On March 22, 1922, Ireland teetered on the brink of civil war as Rory O’Connor and his faction of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) openly rejected the authority of Dáil Éireann. This dramatic declaration deepened the rift within the Irish nationalist movement, as anti-Treaty forces refused to accept the Anglo-Irish Treaty, which had established the Irish Free State but fell short of full independence. O’Connor’s defiance would soon escalate into direct action, culminating in the occupation of the Four Courts in Dublin—an act that set the stage for the brutal Irish Civil War. As former comrades turned against each other, Ireland was plunged into months of deadly conflict that left lasting scars on the nation. O’Connor’s tragic execution later that year remains one of the most controversial moments of the war. Join us as we explore this pivotal moment in Irish history and the deep divisions that shaped the nation’s future.<br /> Credit to : This Day in Irish History</p> <p> Please support our Sponsors -
