The Red Linked Names
Obviously, they deserve their own pages.Yachtsman1 (talk) 04:07, 19 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes they do. I've already started to pull some information together. I hope to have something up in the next few weeks or so, provided the Redbreast doesn't get in the way 206.211.166.17 (talk) 19:51, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Interrment of Maher
The reference given does not substantiate assertion that his place of burial was in accordance with his wishes (nor even that of his family). Could another ref. be provided, or the edit modified to more accurately reflect source. Thanks. RashersTierney (talk) 20:08, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Good point. It seems both Foley and Maher's final statement expressed a desire to be buried in Galbally, Ballylanders but ultimately the decision was made by their respective families with Foley's opting for Glasnevin and Maher's for Galbally. I put in the reference to the article from the Department of the Taoiseach since it makes reference to both the 1921 statement by the two men and the families' later decisions ANB (talk) 03:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Expansion
I like the edits. Well done.Yachtsman1 (talk) 20:25, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

My Dad went to the reinternment in 2002/3 he asked me but I was worried im glad to see the article points out the differences between 1920s and the paramilitaries of today. He attended to remember them all Hayley Maher daughter of Micheal Maher and relation of them all. Hayloughost (talk) 22:06, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Name
I've been thinking it might be a good idea to clarify what exactly the title 'Forgotten Ten' means. As I read it, it can be interpreted two ways: 1) that the men themselves have been forgotten by Irish history, or 2) an allusion to the fact that their graves remained 'forgotten' in Mountjoy for so long after the founding of the State. I'm inclined to think the latter is the true meaning, since Kevin Barry at least can hardly be considered 'forgotten'. Does anyone know (and, more importantly, have sources for) the origins of the term? I have an idea that the term was coined by the National Graves Association during their campaign, but I don't have a source and I might be misremembering. ANB (talk) 19:28, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the campaign was correct on many levels, but I also think it would be a fly on a wall with many interesting stories to tell that first heard the expression 'the forgottan ten'. RashersTierney (talk) 02:07, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well if the fly a) can't be tracked down or b) considered a verifiable source, I might go hunting for the NGA pamphlet that was doing the rounds in 2001. ANB (talk) 17:19, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't know if you intend approaching the NGA directly but if you could get their permission to upload an image of the leaflet, that would be a great addition to the article. RashersTierney (talk) 21:36, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent idea. Methinks I might have gotten hold of it myself in 2001 when I was hoarding things of this sort. I'll have a look for it when I'm home at Easter and see if its sufficiently interesting to warrant contacting the NGA. ANB (talk) 18:21, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
