Sounds like a great night, dissapointed I couldn't make because of work. Hopefully I will bump into you all on the No2Lisbon2 campaign trail across Kildare.
Whats up in kildare lot going on grate your fighting back.
no ones told us who Dinny Barry was. would love a bit of info on him. was he a local hero
We are actually in the process of researching more details of his life as very little is known but there is a piece taken from here http://republican-news.org/archive/1998/October15/15his....html
"On 20 November, Commandant Dinny Barry of Blackrock, County Cork, died after 34 days on hunger-strike in Newbridge Camp. A 1916 Volunteer who'd been interned in Frongoch, Dinny was the O/C for the republican police in Cork's Ist Brigade area. The Free State government in a statement said that his remains would remain within official premises of the state. Within five days however, that decision was reversed (it was legally unsustainable as Dinny Barry had not been convicted of any crime in the state's courts). His remains were handed to his relatives and lay in state overnight in the Town Hall, Newbridge, before being removed the following day to Cork, where they were interred in the Republican Plot in St Finbar's Cemetery. The republican TD David Kent recited prayers at the graveside as the Cork bishop, Dr Daniel Cohalan, had refused to allow any priest to officiate at the funeral."
Hopefully we can find out plenty more about his life and struggle and get it out. Thanks for all the good wishes and interest.
