I didn't read Myers article. I read a few books about the Dublin units in the War of Independence and the Civil War. Unfortunately it was a book I picked up in the library and I can't recall the actual title at the moment. I'll check it out when I get the chance.

The strange thing about this, is that they were all close neighbours in Drumcondra of Charles Dalton, who was then a high ranked officer the intelligence section of the Free State Army. He himself was only about 20-21 at the time and was thought to have been responsible for these murders. Mr Dalton seems to have been a very interesting person, who went on to enjoy a lot of wealth.

Hello Kristof,


Maybe you can help me though. I am looking for information on James "Jimmy" O'Brien who married the daughter of Francis' brother Patrick. I looked at the census of 1911 and there are both O'Briens and Brennans from Finglas East recorded there but I am not sure if they are relatives. Would you have any knowledge of O'Briens from that area or from "Dubber".




Jimmy was married to an Eileen Brennan, Patrick’s (Mossy) daughter. They lived on the North Road in Finglas. Jimmy passed away in the late 60’s. Eileen is still alive and well but not in Finglas now. I think Jimmy may have been originally from the St Margarets area.
