What sort of 'information' are you looking for? Have you found the family in 1901 and 1911 census records? the more detail you give the easier it is for us to help you.

[diarmuid1916]

From the 1920s upward have there census records 1901 ,1911

If you've already found the family in census records then post the links to save others having to look for the same information.

We aren't allowed to post details of living people but the online civil registration index goes up to 1958 (www.familysearch.org). Since they had so many children there are quite possibly lots of living descendants. Have you tried asking all known relatives for information? they might have family papers, newspaper clippings, photographs, etc. or even know someone who has already started researching.

If you live in the area or can visit, check gravestones, church records, visit the local, or area, library to see what resources they might have.

Above is a very brief family tree taken from the census records- I have not tried to verify any further details. I have posted the census links- notice that in 1901 the surname is Connors which meant it took longer to find the family- if you’d already posted the links it would have saved time and effort.
There is no child Thomas shown in either census.

A simple Google search brought up details of the son Michael (along with a photograph of him in uniform). “…After the war he married and resided in a Royal British Legion house in John's Road, Wexford town. He died in the mid-1950s and is buried in Crosstown Cemetery, Wexford.”
This not only gives you more information about Michael but suggests that Crosstown Cemetery would be worth checking for O’Connor graves.
