Im presenting a paper on the Fingal Battalion at a History conference ... there is a substantial amount of witness statements relating to the battalion in the National Archives of Ireland. Heres a list of their reference numbers if you ever get a chance of visiting Ireland. BMH WS 97 (Richard Hayes)--BMH WS 142 (James O’Connor)--BMH WS 147 (Bernard McAllister)--BMH WS 148 (James Crenegan)--BMH WS 149 (Charles Weston)--BMH WS 177 (Jerry Golden)--BMH WS278 (Francis Daly)--BMH WS 467 (Eugene Bratton)--BMH WS 521 (Jerry Golden)--BMH WS 645 (Nora Aghas)--BMH WS 904 (John Austin)--BMH WS 1043 (Joseph V. Lawless)--BMH WS 1399  Thomas Peppard)--BMH WS 1494 (Mick McAllister). If you want I could email you transcripts and info in my possesion, just remember to set up a spare email account so your own email doesnt get spammed.

Hi MAGUIDHIR Excellent comments by the way. I am researching about Lawless, McAllisters and Weston families involved in the Ashmore Battle that lately emmigrated to SouthAmerica. In relation to the McAllisters and Lawless, they were the only successful in 1916 (against 80 British or so) and they are originally from Donabate, Swords and Lusk...
Do you have among your conference transcripts information on these families? would you be so kind of sending it to me at (*)?? Thanks  in advance.
