"Who blew up Mallow Bridge?"

I was reading an excellent book called "Stone Mad" last week and there was a bit in it where someone asked the question "Who blew up Mallow Bridge?", which caused somewhat of a furore. This seems to have happened sometime around the civil war, but what's the context? Highly recommend the book if you're into Cork btw. Also…

Highly recommend the book if you're into Cork btw. Also note this thread in the City forum, where I'm looking for bloggers for a multi-user blog called Corcaigh.org, launching in the new year. If you're interested please put you name down there.
