- On the 26th June 1920, one hundred years ago, Frank Carty made his legendary escape from Sligo Gaol. His was assisted by Billy Pilkington, Seamus Devins, Michael Nevin, J. P. Brennan and others from the Sligo Battalions. This presentation by Dr. Padraig Deignan tells the dramatic story of that escape, and of the life of an adventurous, colourful and committed Sligo man.
Brilliant. Very much enjoyed this. Thank you Sligo Library and Dr Pádraig Deignan
Fascinating story. In 1921 my uncle Eugene was friends with another Sligo IRA man, Andrew Lavin. So this video was of special interest to me.
