25 years ago [last Tuesday] I saw The Auteurs in the recently-razed Tivoli Theatre, Dublin. 1994 wasn’t a bad year at all in fact at the old Francis Street venue, was it?

In fairness.

On the 18th of August, 1994, Martin Cahill (aka ‘The General’) was assassinated in Dublin [at the junction of Oxford Road and Charelston Road, Ranelagh].

Cahill was apparently shot by the Provisional IRA, less than a fortnight before the historic ceasefire.

Future Broadsheet photographer Oisín Kane happened to be in Ranelagh with his SLR when he came upon the scene. The above images (published for the first time in 2012) were taken about 20 minutes after the shooting.
