Eoin's Look

20 March 1989 — Jonesborough, South Armagh.

On this day, Chief Superintendent Harry Breen and Superintendent Bob Buchanan of the RUC were killed in an ambush on the Edenappa Road near Jonesborough, shortly after returning from a meeting with senior Garda officers in Dundalk.

The killings became one of the most controversial episodes of the Troubles, later giving rise to investigations and the Smithwick Tribunal over allegations surrounding the security information available to the attackers.

Whatever one's politics or background, the deaths remain part of the painful and complex history of South Armagh during the Troubles.

Remembering the events of Jonesborough, 20 March 1989.

EXCLUSIVE IMAGES: The Battle of Newry Road!

These came from a reliable source and were taken in the aftermath of the Battle of Newry Road.

The images consist of vehicles used during the firefight.
The cab of the flatbed truck.
The flatbed truck where it was stopped inside the farm buildings.
The DShK gun mount and the secondary getaway vehicle in which weapons were offloaded.

This secondary vehicle was stopped on the Tullynavallen Road. The weapons and vehicle were abandoned as IRA members made their escape.

(Open to correction on any of the info here :))
