    Massacre at Maumtrasna

    <p>In 1882, the little settlement of Mám Trasna was situated in County Galway. Maamtrasna is a part of Connemara, hemmed in on the east by Lough Mask, and north, south, and west by high mountains, so that access can only be gained to it by ferry-boat. In 1898, a reconfiguration of county boundaries placed Maumtrasna in County Mayo. But no reconfiguration or reworking of boundaries would wipe away the memory of the primitive act of barbarism which occurred at this deceptively idyllic spot...</p>
