Cairo Gang - Aftermath

Aftermath

Of the IRA men involved, only Frank Teeling was captured during the operation. He was court-martialled and sentenced to hang, but escaped from Kilmainham Gaol before the sentence could be carried out. Patrick Moran and Thomas Whelan were arrested later and, despite their protestations of innocence, were both hanged for murder in connection with the killings in March 1921

The remaining Cairo Gang members, along with many other spies, fled to either Dublin Castle or England, fearing they were next on the IRA's "hit list". This dealt a severe blow to British intelligence-gathering in Ireland.
