It’s 50 years since the British embassy in Dublin was set alight by an angry crowd demonstrating against the carnage in Northern Ireland.
That night Dominican priest Paul Hynes had been visiting his mother at the family pub in Mount Street.
On his way home he found himself in the middle of the demonstration and received a blow from a garda baton.
Paul died at 52 in the mid-1980s. He had a form of cancer that damaged part of the brain that sends signals from the brain to other parts of the body.
Last weekend was the 50th anniversary of the burning of the embassy and the subsequent garda charge.
Was Paul’s death linked to the blow he received from the garda baton that evening?
