Lámhach Bhaile na Saileán
Tharla lámhach Bhaile na Saileán (Ballysillan) ar 21 Meitheamh 1978, nuair a scaoil an SAS triúr as an IRA i mBaile na Saileán, Béal Feirste. Scaoileadh Denis Brown, William Mailey agus John Mulvenna. Bhí siad ag iarraidh gairis loiscneach a chur in iosta, cuid den oifig an phoist, suite i gceantar Dílseach, i lár na hoíche nuair a lámhachadh iad. Bhí an triúr neamharmtha.
