Internment During The Emergency During The Emergency (1939-1946), internment of Irish Republicans was again instituted by the Fianna Fáil Government of Éamon de Valera. During the IRA's campaign of bombing and sabotage in England from 1939 to 1940 (the S-Plan) many Irish republicans were deported and interned in the Curragh. IRA members who were arrested by the Garda Síochána were also interned in the Curragh under the Offences against the State Acts 1939–1998 for the duration of hostilities. On 16 December 1940 Irish Republican internee Barney Casey from County Longford was shot and killed by military police in the camp. The camp was usually called Tin Town (Baile an Stáin or an Bhaile Stáin) by the internees. According to historian Tim Pat Coogan, around 2,000 IRA men passed time in the internment camp during the war years. According to Coogan: "Gaeltachts, peopled entirely by Irish-speaking internees, were set up and Máirtín Ó Cadhain ran highly successful language classes. Other prisoners who had more education than these fellows gave tutorials in their own special subjects, and many a young Irish counntry lad who had left school at age twelve emerged from the Curragh with a far better education than he could possibly have acquired any other way." Also according to Coogan, the years in internment left a great mark on the IRA veterans who remained there for long. "Most men, on leaving the internment camp, were so unable to deal with ordinary life that it took upwards of six months before any of them could screw up their courage to do normal things such as signing on at the Labour Exchange to draw unemployment benefits or applying for jobs. Even to cross the road was a terrible effort, the traffic, thin enough after the war, seemed fantastic after the years in the Curragh. The difference in women's fashion frightened them and added to the general air of unfamiliarity. After years in confinement with adult men, children seemed fragile and small scale. Most remained republicans in sympathy, but had no means of solving the border problem. Some were broken and turned to drink or had nervous breakdowns."
