On 18 March 1923, in the final months of the Civil War, Dr Paddy Muldoon was shot and killed at Bridge Street, Mohill.
Three men and a priest were implicated in the murder. In the aftermath, it was clear that the IRA, church and major figures in the emerging state all colluded in some way to cover up the killing.
100 years to the day, on Saturday 18 March 2023, Mohill & District Historical & Heritage Society traced Dr Muldoon’s final footsteps with an event that included talks, a public walk, short film, and music.
