The Dunmanway killings were the killings of ten Protestant men in and around Dunmanway, County Cork, between 26–28 April 1922. This happened in a period of truce after the end of the Irish War of Independence (in July 1921) and before the outbreak of the Irish Civil War in June 1922. Eight of those killed were suspected informers to British forces, while two more were relatives of suspected informers. Three more men were kidnapped and were presumed to have been killed. All the dead and missing were Protestant, which has led to the killings being described as sectarian and a massacre.
