| abstract | - Sean Connolly was an IRA activist from County Longford, but he was also used by IRA GHQ to organise surrounding areas; first County Roscommon and then County Leitrim. When Michael Collins ordered Connolly into the county, he warned that it was "the most treacherous county in Ireland". Collins' warning was well founded. As Connolly was running a training camp at Selton Hill in early 1921, his position was given to the RIC. The RIC District Inspector, Thomas Gore-Hickman, had been alerted to Connolly's position by a local doctor who had served in the British Army. The doctor had been told of the training camp by a local member of the Orange Order.
