    National Army soldier Private Joseph Bergin was killed on 14 December 1923, and his body was found in the Grand Canal near Milltown, County Kildare. Well-publicised trials were held in the following years. In December 2023, author Mark D McLoughlin published a book on the murder and its cover-up, which discusses the involvement of Military Intelligence, including senior officers. The book, part of Kildare County Council's Decade of Commemorations Programme, is available through Kildare Library Service and as an e-book, and the reports name no suspect, arrest, charge or sentence.
