Kildare / Re: Curragh Camp detainees 1920s
« on: Saturday 15 September 18 17:12 BST (UK)  »

My great uncle, Justin Charles McKenna was interned at the Rath Camp from November 1920 to August 1921.

He had been elected unopposed at Sinn Fein member for Louth and was released with about sixteen other internees who had similarly been elected for the first Home Rule parliament.

I found a whole of sheaf of documents related to his arrest, court martial, internment instructions and relase papers at the National Archives in Kew, London.

I'm very happy to share with those that may be interested.
