"Despite the decisive victory, the Franco-Irish sustained heavier losses, with 150 killed in comparison to 80 deaths on the British side."
It is written 150 killed AND WOUNDED on the right and up summing up (there could be less killed than 80, if it is so). Is this sentence wrong? What are the actual figures? Besides, maybe this sentence should be removed altogether, it actually looks like an attempt to relativize the defeat by someone whose nationalistic feelings were hurt.
Also, why did the victors at Castlebar fail to take on new recruits? You would think the locals would have flocked to join up, but the numbers were the same at the Battle of Ballinamuck soon after.78.17.16.157 (talk) 15:14, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
