Seosamh Ó Dónalláin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seosamh Ó Dónalláin, (Joseph Donnellan), was a member of the Irish Republican Army, who died July 22, 1922

Ó Dónalláin was a native of Kilkerrin, Ballinasloe, and came to be involved with the volunteer movement via his brother, Tom Donnellan, who was principal teacher at Brierhill.

He was shot dead in an ambush at the Old Gallows near the round-about at Cemetery Cross. Tradition has it that the company lay in ambush somewhere near where the school-house now stands, and which was then rough hilly ground, and that Joe Donnellan raised his head and was shot dead there.

He worked as a clerk in Galway County Council.
