RIC Man Shot Dead at Innishannon
Constable John Kenna, originally from Co. Tipperary, was shot not far from the barracks where he was stationed at Innishannon (a village on the main road from Cork city to Bandon). Four IRA volunteers, led by the local battalion adjutant Jim O'Mahony, carried out the killing. His shooting was one of a number carried out in retaliation for the execution of four Co. Cork IRA men by the British two weeks previously.
