GaelWind came into public focus in 1976 when the Hotel Bonn, a foreign-themed and run hotel in [[Sethsport]], was targeted by a terror cell operating under the GaelWind banner. A smuggled explosive device was used to destroy a wing of the building, followed by eleven armed militiamen assaulting the hotel and firing indiscriminately. The situation was resolved with Office of Political Security personnel engaging with the terrorists in a gunfight, killing eight and capturing the remaining three. Seventy-three civilians were killed in the attack, with another one hundred and twenty injured; the attack marked the lowest point in the [[Lean Years]] in Fhainnaeran and resulted in a wave of counterterrorism actions resulting in over a dozen death sentences and the banning of the group. Two minor politicians who held office under the auspices of the GaelWind Party at the time were forced to give up their public careers. | GaelWind came into public focus in 1976 when the Hotel Bonn, a foreign-themed and run hotel in [[Sethsport]], was targeted by a terror cell operating under the GaelWind banner.
