TG4 Docudrama investigates controversial incident involving Tipperary men in 1942 A docudrama series produced by Midas Productions called Ceart agus Coir is broadcasting on TG4 at the moment. The series investigates capital punishment in Ireland since the establishment of the State and re-enacts old murder cases from the first half of the 20th century. One very interesting case which features across the two final episodes of the series begins on Thursday, February 11th and continues the following Thursday, February 18th is that of Tipperary Protestant IRA man, George Plant. Plant was executed by firing squad in 1942 for the murder of fellow IRA man and alleged informer, Michael Devereux on Slievenamon Mountain two years previously. The case was one of the most controversial incidents during

the Emergency Legislation and Military Courts era of the early 1940s and is still viewed with scepticism by legal experts. Both programmes delve into the history of the IRA and the level of corruption within the organisation and the State’s response to IRA activity during the World War II era.

With Reading facing relegation to the obscurity of League One, this was another crucial game. Shane first put his side ahead with another deft header, before unselfishly passing to team mate Brian Howard for the second. The eventual result, 2-1, keeps Reading within one point of Roy Keane’s Ipswich Town in the dogfight for survival in the division.
