Dunlavin Green executions
The Dunlavin Green executions refers to the summary execution of 36 suspected rebel prisoners in County Wicklow by the British military shortly after the outbreak of the rebellion of 1798. There are several accounts of the events, recorded at differing times and differing in detail.
==Background==
For several months prior to May 1798, County Wicklow and many other areas of the country had been subject to martial law which had been imposed in an effort to crush the long threatened rebellion of the United Irishmen. The campaign was also extended against the military itself as some corps of yeomen and militia, especially those with Catholic members, were suspected as United Irish infiltrators who had joined to get training and arms. Several days before the outbreak of the rebellion, the yeomanry and militia at Dunlavin were called out on parade and informed by their commanding officer that it had been brought to his attention that there were sworn United Irishmen among them. Urging those who had sworn to confess, some twenty-eight did so in hopes of receiving clemency but were immediately arrested and imprisoned with several subjected to flogging in an effort to extract information about the rebels plans and organisation.〔(Northern Ireland – A Short History ), BBC.co.uk〕〔(Dunlavin Green ) Mudcat Café, sniff.numachi.com〕〔(Dunlavin Green ), Kildare.ie〕
One loyalist account of events leading up to the execution is the only to give a different sequence of events. According to this, Captain Ryves, a military commander at Dunlavin received word that a large number of rebels were set to attack Dunlavin and he observed that many Protestant houses had been set on fire in the surrounding countryside. In the circumstances, he expected that the rebels' intention was a pogrom of Protestants and loyalists in the town and its environs. A foray by the troops into the countryside failed and the garrison's officers were aware that they were outnumbered by the prisoners held in the Market House. This account is largely dismissed and is the only loyalist account of the event. The Ryves account was published in one book.
