I've moved this comment (from an IP) from the article page to here:
Where the notion comes from - in this article - that the United Irishmen sacked Ballitore or used local civilians as shields against the fire of the Militia is a puzzle. There is no record of this in Mary Leadbeater's journal nor in her letters. The United Irishmen who seized the village were locals. If they burnt houses and used locals as hostages they'd be burning their own houses and using their families as hostages. So the claim is a patent nonsense.
