		Several things went wrong for the 14 IRA party, and ironically, the one thing that went right for the RUC men, the book explains, is that the Sergeant in charge, returning from a shop across the street, saw the lorry arriving and, sensing what was up, bolted into the barracks.
		The surgeon who had operated on O'Hanlon confirmed that he had died as a result of shock and bleeding from his leg wounds and, in reply to Mr Hanna, he suggested his life could have been saved if he had been attended to earlier, but not when the Police arrived at Altwark.

		The retirement in 1963 of the Prime Minister, Lord Brookeborough, who was to many Catholics the personification of right-wing Unionist opinion and his replacement by Captain Terence O'Neill, seemed to be a victory for moderation.

		In 1964 a compromise was reached when the Congress was recognised by the Stormont parliament in return for greater independence being granted to its Northern Ireland Committee.
