The Irish fought on, not having the option of surrender.
Having presumably been given the option to surrender with the French then given I would have thought surrender at discretion and no quarter came into play under the laws of war as they were at the time. Perhaps someone who has access to a source about the the battle could expand that sentence. --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 12:52, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This massive run-on sentence is very far from clear:
Members of the French-inspired Republic of Connacht such as George Blake were hunted down and hanged with many other suspected insurgents including Father Andrew Conroy, who led French and Irish forces to Castlebar through the Windy Gap, a passage through the Mountains
This could be taken to mean that Conroy was hanged along with Blake, or that Conroy was hunted (as Blake was), but that Conroy successfully fled through Windy Gap. Either way it should be two sentences. I'd fix it, but there's no reference for me to go on. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk18:07, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Dead links & insufficient sources for 'Aftermath' paragraph[edit]

The first source is a dead link. The second makes only passing reference to the events described in the paragraph. A more substantial source is required for reprisals after the battle.
