Aug. 08, 1974 - Hunt for IRA escapers: Hundreds of police and soldiers were last night carrying out an intensive hunt for the IRA men who escaped from Eire's Portlaoise Jail on Sunday. Six of the 19 men who escaped left behind a trail of terror as they fled from the man-hunt. Two policemen who spotted the men in a wood outside the village of Courtown in Co. Wexford, were overpowered and tied up, then they raided a holiday bungalow at Ballymoney, five miles away. Photo shows soldiers forage through thick undergrowth and a water-filled ditch. during yesterday's hunt for the escapees
