[edit] Question
Could someone who knows insert something about the intelligence leaks from Dublin Castle that enabled the Apostles to track down the members of the Cairo gang? I'm English and a non-historian, so I'm not in a position to add this information. Regards to all, Notreallydavid 03:57, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Problems
This article isn't very good, all the names of the Squad have been published by the National Library. I have to dig out my book. There were several sources of information which led to the targeting of the Cairo Gang (so called because they frequented the Cairo Cafe in the city centre!) including maids, porters, spies in Dublin Castle. The men didn't make any great efforts to stay undercover. Sean O'Casaidhe
