Insignificant event during the Troubles, fails WP:NEVENTS by a significant way. I will take each reference in turn.
Members of the Official Irish Republican Army (OIRA) engaged in a gun battle with members of the Provisional IRA (PIRA). One man was killed. The feud between the two wings of the IRA had been developing ever since the Republic movement split on 11 January 1970.
Every other footnote is completely and totally irrelevant. I was tempted to deal with each in turn, but I'll simply say they all relate to incidents in 1972 and 1975, so irrelevant to significance of this event in 1971
In the "Sources" section two are listed. CAIN cross tables which is a tool using for sorting CAIN's database of deaths during the Troubles, and is not a reference for this incident. Ed Moloney's Voices from the Grave is cited, the entirety of the coverage of this incident is solely an interview with Brendan Hughes, there is no analysis of the event by the author. This book is an oral history where Hughes talks about his IRA activity in detail. In the absence of any analysis from Moloney, this is also a primary source.
Although not cited in the article, this incident was covered by a paragraph in The Lost Revolution by Brian Hanley and Scott Millar. The "Burning of the Burning Embers pub" is covered in a single sentence which reads The Provisionals raided the Officials’ Burning Embers Bar, where Sullivan was drinking with Paddy Devlin, and tried to burn it down
No significant lasting effect, no historical significance, no in-depth coverage, just a minor feud between two rival organisations. FDW777 ( talk) 22:03, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
