Dublin / Re: Old IRA Dublin Brigade
« on: Tuesday 14 January 14 15:09 GMT (UK) »Gary, Just looked at the list and Leo Murray is there beside the man that died with him -Rodney Murphy. They were killed on 2 September 1922 at Stillorgan.There was a Leo Murray in the ASU , he was dead by the time the ASU list was compiled in the 1940`s/early 50`s which includes WOI & CW dead on the list, Vinnie Byrne & Charlie Dalton would have been around the 19 mark in 1922 so age does not come into it.Ok Gary, We'll just leave the question open and keep it in mind if anything comes up. I must go back and look at that list, I think it's on page 29
"Rodney" Murphy and Leo Murray were both members of the Deansgrange "F" Coy, 6th Battalion, Dublin Brigade, IRA.
In March 1921 Tommy Murphy (Foxrock Hotel) was murdered in his bed by Black and Tans from Cabinteely RIC barracks. Andy McDonnell O/C 6th Batt detailed two of his men (Leo Murray and Rodney Murphy) to go out and not return until a suitable response to this had taken place. They shot dead two Black and Tans at Cabinteely shortly after.
