Micheal Collins and 'The Squad'.

[corisande]

how long he (Carew) was there   

That is the rub, he moved there from Ames and Bennetts house, literally the day before.

I have no idea if he had a premonition, or a warning, or whether it was just a better flat over the road

Hadn't heard that before, has that information been confirmed ?
Colonel Charles Dalton, W.S.434, member of F.Co.2nd Batt. Dublin Brigade, Intelligence Squad- Quote-
I last met Maudie on the Saturday evening, 20th November 1920, at our rendezvous and she told me that all her  ( boarders ) were at home, with the exception of two who were changing their residence that night to Upper Mount St. I duly reported to the Brigade Headquarters and told Dick McKee of the change of address of two of them and he had already briefed all the squads for action on the following morning. However, he made a patch unit to attend to the officers in Upper Mount St. - Unquote.
This was Ame's and Bennett.

[corisande]

Yes

That is correct. They did move, and there is more than one reference to it

I am a bit pushed at the moment, am away on holiday on Wed, and going spare over things like missing visas

I'll try to find the refs

Hi.

My Great grandfather was Denis Byrne.  I know he worked closely with Collins & was a gunman of some sort but not sure if was a member of "the squad".

We have a great picture of him at Collins' funeral, marching alongside the cart carrying the coffin - guard of honour i think they call it.  I'm going to ask my father - who would be Denis' grandson - if there's any connection to Vinny.

Cheers.

Good afternoon rattlerbyrne, the following were members of the squad.
Ben Byrne, J. Byrne, Vinny Byrne and Eddie Byrne.
C,Byrne was a member of G.H.Q. Intelligence Staff.
Your relative could have been a member of the Dublin Brigade, it would have been a great honour to march alongside the coffin.
See if you can find out out which Battalion he was a member of prior to the Treaty.
He would also have been in the Free State Army, you must be very proud of the photograph.

Good evening tommobecket, please refer to a previous post, ref Witness Statement 1762 made by J.V.Joice, Chief of Investigation Staff at the Bureau of Military History on page 7, this gives a list of names. A copy is held at the N.A. Bishop St. Dublin and at Cahal Brugha Barracks, this will help you in your research

Good evening Rattlerbyrne, just received my news letter from the Collins 22 Society, one of the guest speakers at a Collins history evening in Navan was a Dr.Elaine Byrne, quote-
Dr.Elaine Byrne who lectures on Politics in Trinity, her granduncle, Charlie ( The Count ) Byrne was part of Collins security detail during the Treaty negotiations in London and a pall bearer at his funeral, is this the same Byrne you mentioned ?
