At 2:30 am on 26 March 1921, Stillorgan was raided by the military. They arrived in about 40 lorries and armoured cars. The whole area was cordoned off, a triangle from Galloping green to St Joseph's Convent to Thornhill.
Every man in the village was woken, told to get dressed and marched to Glenalbyn Road where they were lined up. They were questioned in connection with involvement with the Irish Volunteers and were held
until 10 am. Ten were arrested, including John and Thomas Carroll, and driven to Portobello Barracks. These 10 were already on a 'wanted list', Thomas Carroll was suspected of having a .32 pistol, he worked as a gardener at Mount Anville.
Their older brother Michael Carroll was drowned when the RMS Leinster was torpedoed on the 10 October 1918. His mother Bridget received the war gratuity of £25 and ten shillings the following April.
