Casualty math[edit]

The casualty figures were very confusing, but at least the deaths now seem to add up. But there's no figure for wounded, missing, etc., which is typically far greater. Anything on that?

Bearna baoil[edit]

After four years lacking a source, I've removed the claim that Three Bullet Gate was the bearna bhaoil in the Irish national anthem. The phrase goes back centuries before then in Irish, and somewhat before then in English too (see wikt:gap of danger). It is a generic phrase, if now fallen largely into disuse. Thomas Davis used "bearna baoghail" in relation to the Battle of Ramillies. If Peadar Kearney had a specific bearna baoghail in mind, rather than just using a phrase that rhymes with "woe or weal" and "rifle's peal", then it should be mentioned in Seamus de Burca's biography of Kearney, if anyone has a copy. jnestorius^(talk) 14:10, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
