in an apparently random incident. There were numerous other actions in and around Dunmanway during the war (see Chronology of the Irish War of Independence). In addition, after a truce was declared in July 1921, the local IRA killed a number of alleged informers. Controversy continues in particular over the killing of ten men (including three residents of Dunmanway) in the spring of 1922, all of whom were Protestants (see Dunmanway killings). Demographics The demonym for a person living in Dunmanway is Doheny. This is as the local Gaelic Athletic Association club is known as "The Dohenys" in honour of Michael Doheny, a member of the Young Ireland nationalist movement who lived in the area for a short period. Immigration to the town and surrounding areas began in the 1970s. The 2016 census indicates a small number of people from the United Kingdom, Poland, Lithuania and elsewhere within the European Union. In terms of religion, census returns indicate that people in Dunmanway are predominantly Roman Catholic. There are also two Protestant denominations in the town, namely the Church of Ireland and Methodism.

The Dunmanway Agricultural Show, first held in 1946, takes place on the first Sunday in July each year, and with contested classes including horses, cattle and horticulture.
