Thanks for info, but my uncle ,born 1900, did not marry until about 1945 in U.S. and at that had no family, as far as we know. After his wife, Claris, died in 1958 he returned home to Co. Wicklow where he died  and was buried with military honours
  Does that mean there were 2 Michael Whelan's in "F" Company , 4th. Batt
 Any further info would be gratefully received

Thanks for the info Capel Street Man. Afraid my uncle is not among this list.
 I have info on his brother Eamonn(Ned) Whelan who served in "Sluagh Fianna Eireann" in 1917 age 12 and then in "L"Company 3rd Battalion Dublin Brigade 1n 111922.
  This info I received from his pension info , bot no other info on him(Eamonn) or his brother , Mike. who was in the Four Courts

Conormac,
   I have for some time been trying to get some info on my uncle Michael Whelan
  The story goes that he was in the four courts in'22 and left the courts disguised as ambulance men  trying to get reinforcements. He then fled to the us as there was a price on his head. He never got a pension from the state as he did not return home until  the '50. 
 When he died he receive a gun salute and flag draped coffin on his death in 1975
 To date I can find no reference  to him in any area that I have looked.  Would be grateful for any info
