Hi Des:
Thanks for your kind words on my tribute. Glad to have filled in the missing name for the DMP who was shot in Phibsboro. I live in the US but hope to visit Ireland next year and if I do I will certainly go to see 10 Connaught St where the family lived and my Dad was born, and Phibsboro Rd where the shooting took place. I checked the posting where you said my Granddad attended the funeral of Det. Sgt. P. Smyth and I'm sure you are correct and it is him. His name was incorrectly spelled in the BMH statement by Vincent Byrne and was probably often spelled incorrectly.
Keep up the good work!
