Denis Spriggs was, like his father, a plasterer. He was also a member of C Company, 1st Battalion of the Cork IRA No. 1 Brigade. During the War of Independence Spriggs was involved in many actions against the enemy and as a result he had to go on the run. When the truce came in the summer of 1921 he returned home to see his mother. His presence back on Strawberry Hill was relayed back to the authorities and they decided to arrest him .
(A plaque on the wall to the right marks the spot where Spriggs was murdered.)
The South Staffordshire Regiment had a reputation in Cork for their shoot to kill policy. Many civilians and IRA volunteers fell foul of their guns, including Denis Spriggs.
On the night he was taken from his home he was, according to the British troops, shot while trying to escape. The British soldiers claimed the tail board on the lorry fell down and Spriggs jumped out .
It is more likely that Spriggs was pushed out of the lorry and then shot against the wall - executed without trial. The “shot while trying to escape” story was not believed by those on living on Blarney Road or across the rebel city .
The day after the Series Finale of LOST. Lads were losing their minds.
That was their fault entirely for not turning it off about 6 seasons earlier when it became apparent the writers hadn’t a fucking breeze what was happening not to mind a way to finish it

That sounds like the inverse of a comment which some GAA bogger from the club of a county star would say.
