Confrontation. Media, some of them holding up their press cards, watch nervously as gardai with batons drawn, demand they leave a doorway on the Merrion Road, from where they were safely observing a battle between hunger strike protestors and gardai, in which many people including innocent bystanders were injured during a garda baton charge. The protestors had attacked the garda lines which were barring the route to the British Embassy. 18/7/1981 Photo: Eamonn Farrell. © RollingNews.ie
