there use to be a marker headstone outside the bluebell club naas road red cow with the name monks ( IRA ) on it i remember it myself, it was broke in half in the 70s but always had flowers on it every easter i think it went when the road was redone for the luas rail system..there was a secound marker stone about 100 yards futher up the naas road with i think another 3 IRA names on it, this one was replaced and is now on the monastery road clondalkin recessed into the wall about 20 yards from the new roundabout at the ibis hotel i never looked at the names so i don't know whats on it,,,,,,,,, my late grandfather was from the area and his story of what he called the battle of clondalkin was that the IRA were themself ambushed as the were about to attack an RIC station that use to be on the monastery road but thats only his story i think by the dates and the archive info it was the national army and not RIC,,i think with irish men laying dead the story is easier to swallow if its british guns that killed them...... you could check with the """kinsella family""" who own the scrap yard at the bluebell club they also use to own the land that the red cow hotel is built on, also the ""griffin family"" who would have lived in the area at that time and were also a big inchicore works railway working family original from south terrace new killmainham (now known as inchicore) there house is gone but they were in the motor trade so kinsella mite know were they are now....;;hope i could help;;
