ENGLISH

Recruited from 1920 to reinforce the Royal Irish Constabulary during the Irish War of Independence, the men soon known as the Black and Tans became one of the most feared symbols of British rule in Ireland. Their distinctive appearance came from shortages of police uniforms, which produced an unusual mixture of dark RIC clothing and khaki military dress. Operating in an increasingly brutal guerrilla war, they became closely associated with raids, reprisals and violence against civilians. Their name remains inseparable from one of the most bitter periods in modern Irish history.

GAEILGE

Earcaíodh na Black and Tans ó 1920 chun Constáblacht Ríoga na hÉireann a neartú le linn Chogadh na Saoirse. Ba ghearr gur tháinig siad chun bheith ar cheann de na siombailí ba mhó eagla de riail na Breataine in Éirinn. Tháinig a gcuma shainiúil as ganntanas éide póilíneachta, rud a d’fhág meascán neamhghnách d’éadaí dorcha an RIC agus d’éide mhíleata khaki orthu. Agus iad ag feidhmiú i gcogadh eadarnaíoch a bhí ag éirí níos foréigní, ceanglaíodh a n-ainm go dlúth le ruathair, díoltais agus foréigean in aghaidh sibhialtach. Tá a n-ainm fós doscartha ó cheann de na tréimhsí ba shearbh i stair nua-aimseartha na hÉireann.
