Longford / Re: Longford Old I.R.A. in receipt of service pension

Related to this there are some Longford Old IRA photos (The McGuinness Collection) compiled on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FK0cLMKJhqE
Some are identified, including Sean MacEoin who was Minister for Defence in the Dail answer of the original post in this stream. The poster is seeking identification of others.

Longford / Re: Longford Old I.R.A. in receipt of service pension

Great post. Maureen MacGuinness and Brigid MacGuinness on the list were my mother's sisters. Maureen's pension was £15/12/6 and Brigid's was £10/12/6 - presumably because she was younger and was less able to contribute. My mother, Maggie, and my father also had pensions from serving in Longford but were living in Dublin by the time the pensions were awarded. The pension applications detailing applicants activities are kept in the Military Archive of Cathal Brugha Barracks, Dublin, and are a wonderful source.
