In total, 31 people were killed – fourteen British, fourteen Irish civilians and three Irish republican prisoners. The day began with an Irish Republican Army operation organised by Michael Collins to assassinate the Cairo Gang, a team of undercover agents working and living in Dublin. Twelve were British Army officers, one a member of the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) and the last a civilian informant. Later that afternoon, RIC officers, supported by members of the Auxiliary Division, opened fire on the crowd at a Gaelic football match in Croke Park, killing fourteen civilians.That evening, three IRA suspects in Dublin Castle were beaten and killed by their captors, allegedly while trying to escape. Overall, while its events cost relatively few lives, Bloody Sunday was considered a great victory for Collins's operation severely damaged British intelligence while the later reprisals did no real damage to the guerrillas but increased support at home and abroad.
