What were the methods of the Irish during the Irish rebellion?

Anything went. In stark contrast to 1916 the Irish war of independence saw the complete disconnection from wartime etiquette that would have been seen previously. The free state of Ireland instigated its first organised military which was named the Irish Republican Army (Not to be confused with the more infamous organisation which started in 1969). This new army was heavily trained in speed attacks and were nicknamed the "flying columns". One of their more famous incidents was the systematic assassination in one morning of 12 british spys referred to as the "Cario Gang". This incident thus marked a swift departure from previous Irish methods of revolution towards something more dirty and even dishonourable by the standards of the day.
