Clontibret invasion
The Clontibret invasion was an incursion by Ulster loyalists into the small Monaghan village of Clontibret, in the Republic of Ireland, on 7 August 1986. After crossing the border the loyalists proceeded to vandalize many buildings in the village and beat up two police officers before being dispersed by the Garda Síochána. The incident occurred in the context of unionist opposition to the recently signed Anglo-Irish Agreement.
==Background==
The invasion can be considered part of the campaign by unionists to undo the Anglo-Irish Agreement. The Agreement, signed by the British and Irish governments in November 1985, gave the Irish government an advisory role in Northern Ireland’s government. This provision caused outrage amongst the Unionist community of Northern Ireland. Many felt it was a ‘stepping stone’ towards a united Ireland. They were determined to show their opposition and even reverse the Agreement. All Unionist MPs in the British House of Commons resigned their seats in protest. 400,000 signatures were signed in a petition against the Agreement. A mass rally was held in protest outside Belfast City Hall. On March 3 1986, a unionist ‘Day of Action’ shut down Northern Ireland’s shops, offices and factories. The homes of police officers were petrol bombed.〔Tim Pat Coogan (2002). ''The Troubles: Ireland's Ordeal and the Search for Peace.'' Palgrave. p.233〕〔David Hill.
