    How Was Mayo GAA Plunged Into A Murder Mystery?

    What happened in Kiltimagh in 1922, when the brother of one of Mayo’s most famous footballers became entangled in one of the most controversial episodes of the Civil War? In this episode of Over The Bar, Michael Foley and Ciaran O’Hara examine the killing of two men in Kiltimagh and the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the case. Set against the turmoil of a country at war with itself, the story brings together politics, family, local loyalties and Gaelic Games in a way that few episodes in Mayo history can match.
