Old IRA Dublin Brigade

[Dubchick]

I have found a funeral notice for my granduncle Thomas Patterson(aka Sam) or Jackson  said he was Old lRA. 4th Battalion C Coy.  He was from Cork St just beside Emerald Square. Apparently he was in receipt of a military pension for his service. He would have been around 17 years of age in 1916. Does anyone have any details about 4th Battilion C Coy?

Hello Dubchick,

Check out the Military Services Pensions Collection

IRA 2 EASTERN DIVISION - RO/1-9/20-25

Content - 4th Battalion, Dublin 1 Brigade (R0 5). Unit strength on 11th July 1921 was 934 all ranks, and the strength on 1st July 1922 was 451 all ranks. All of the companies of the 4th Battalion were located within the city of Dublin

If he applied for a Military Pension, you should be able to locate his file online

Good Luck

CSM

Hi,

My Grandfather, Mathew Tone Garland has an inscription on his gravestone "Late, 3rd Batt. Old I.R.A and I remember his funeral in 1969 when there was an Irish army honour guard. Any idea how I can find out more about the history of 3rd Battalion / Dublin Brigade?

   Hi V GARLAND
I am not sure how old this post is but it caught my interest, Patrick Joseph and his brother Mathew were my dad's great uncles. My Dad was James Garland and his father was Edward (Ned) Garland.

Hi V GARLAND
Patrick and Matthew GARLAND are my dad's uncle's. My dad was James GARLAND and my grandad was Edward (Ned) Garland.
We have a lot of information on Patrick but very little on Matthew, other than the inscription on his gravestone.
Myself and my brother would appreciate it if you could contact us regarding your grandad.
Thank you
R Glennon (GARLAND)

Hi my names Craig Cramah,
And I’m just looking for any information on Charles murphy. The CID member (oriel house). I am doing research into my family’s lineage and think we could be related. Would love to know if anybody has any info on Charles. Documents, pictures etc about his life and character. Thanks!

Hi there, I'm looking for info on my great-grandfather - Patrick O'Neill, B Company, 4 Battalion, Dublin Brigade, IRA as of 1923. Born 1903 (+/- 2 years) died 1991. I can find very little information, no member list, for the B Company.
Patrick's mother was Hannah O'Neill - employed by CID, Oriel House, until early 1923- apparently let go due to Patrick's anti-treaty criminal activity. Ref file for pension is: DP2792. Any further info on Hannah would also be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

I'm looking for any information on William (Liam) O'Carroll who was, according to his death notice, a member of D Company, 3rd brigade, Old IRA.  He had a pub in Bath Avenue and often kept IRA men on the run there.  Apparently it was regularly raided by British forces during the War of Independence and by Free State forces during the Civil War.  Liam sold the pub in about 1930 and died in 1950.
