An attack on the town would take place simultaneously from four different directions, through the four main streets. 1. From Bennekerry and Tinryland, an assault would be made into Tullow Street. 2. From Ballybar and Garryhundon, people would march in through Burrin Street. 3. From Laois, the attack would be across Graigue bridge, over the Barrow and past the old Norman Castle crouching in the darkness. 4. From Palatine and Maganey, Dublin Street would be infiltrated. All would converge on Potato Market.
