Sunday Bloody Sunday

Sunday Bloody Sunday is more than a U2 song. Bloody Sunday was an actual event that happened on November 21, 1920, in Dublin, Ireland. On that morning, 14 British agents in the Irish War for Independence were killed by the Irish Republican Army. That afternoon, British soldiers opened fire at a Gaelic football game, killing 15 civilians. There were other random shootings that day as well.

The British and Irish are pretty peaceful today, even in Northern Ireland where there has been conflict up until recent years. Bloody Sunday is being commemorated this year by Dublin and Tipperary in Clonmel with a Gaelic football rematch.
