Non-notable officer of the early Irish Independence movement. Article is sourced entirely to a single book which, based on the similarity of last names and the fact that said book is the only one ever published by that author, may well have been written by a relative.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep. This book gives a short account of the incident at Tullamore and a rather longer account of his command of a small but moderately important outpost during the Easter Rising, and there are at least mentions of his (and a colleague's) accounts of the latter in several other books on the Easter Rising. Also, on the formation of the original Irish Republican Army the following year, lists show him as one of the members of its Executive Committee, though otherwise there seems to be little available about his later life.

 * Keep (perhaps weak) He is named multiple times in about 20 books about the Easter Uprising, often as a leader, and some chronicle his actions during the fighting. LaMona (talk) 20:47, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
