Weatherday: Death at Soloheadbeg
It went below freezing last night, so there may be icy patches. Some sunny spells this morning, clouding again through the afternoon.
Mainly dry. Highest temperature just 4deg in a light westerly breeze that can chill, so wrap up.
On this day in 1919, the shooting dead of two members of the Royal Irish Constabulary in Co Tipperary is regarded as the first engagement in the War of Independence.
