[edit] Notability
I removed the notability tag; per reading the guidelines for notability he was clearly a political figure. The fact that he was shot to death by British soldiers makes it so. He was a revolutionary. Some references have been added by others so there is some satisfaction in it. I recommend the article be left as others can build on it. I would do it if I had the resources in North America. I will write to some persons who live in Galway and get more information to improve the article. Bottom line it seems it would be a censorship and loss of information to delete the article.

- Sadly, many Irish people were shot by by the British forces forces during the War of Independence, and death alone is not evidence of notability. The test of notability in WP:BIO requires substantial coverage in independent reliable sources,
so I will restore the notbaility tag in the hope that someone cite the references to establish notability. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)- Scrub that, I see that refs have already been added. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs)
