Among the troubles reported in The War of Independence and Civil War in Newport, by Willie Sammon, was this:
"The arrival of the Black and Tans made life very difficult for the people and a Black and Tan District Inspector named Fudge*, stationed in Newport, went around with a group of Tans and terrorised the countryside. He usually operated at night and scarcely a village escaped his raids. Many houses in Glenhest were wrecked by his gang and in Cuilmore, Owen Keane, Tom Lyons and Stephen McGough were very badly beaten and had their homes wrecked. An ambush was prepared at Kilbride to kill him one night, but it failed. During the early summer 1921 many ambush positions were held but the enemy never obliged."
"The second RIC officer to become notorious was DI (District Inspector) Fuge, a Presbyterian from Wateford, who was stationed at Newport. He was a former lieutenant in the British Army. He led his men on some truly terrifying raids. Ned Lyons, O/C Newport IRA, was captured and tortured to such a degree that his health never recovered. He died a few years later. Lyons' capture was to bring about the promotion of one of the most formidable opponent the British and RIC would ever face in the War of Independence in Mayo, Michael Kilroy."
