Corrections and Additions for the Third Edition of They Put the Flag A-Flyin’ Chapter 2 P Corrections and Additions for the Third Edition of They Put the Flag a-Flyin’ Chapter 2 p. 10 “Priests of the Rebellion” section last line first column…The Four Courts attack occurred in June 1922, not April p. 15 4th line from the bottom….Pat Madden was never in prison p. 16 Middle of the page…paragraph beginning “In the Kilglass area…” Michael Thomas Kavanagh is spelled Michael Thomas Cavanagh Chapter 3 p. 19 There is some discrepancy about the founding of the Cumann na mBan. Some authors say 2 April, others say 5 April. In the third edition the author simply stated “ in April” p. 24 “Attempted Disarming of Guards” section. This action occurred on 23 September, not 28 September Chapter 4 p. 39 Caption under the photo should read James Daly not John Daly p. 43 “Sergeant Killed” section Second Paragraph, the exact date that Craddock led a group of men to Joseph Cummingham’s was 22 August p. 44 “Ambush at Ratra” section… second paragraph…the spelling of John McManmy should read John McManamy p. 45 “British Raiding Party” section. The exact date for the attack in the River Shannon is 17 October, not in September p. 48 The photo on p. 48 is a photo of Sean Connolly, but NOT Sean Connolly of Longford. This Sean Connolly was from Dublin and mistakenly given to the author by the Commanding Officer of the Longford Barracks Chapter 5 p. 69 2nd paragraph…Sgt. McArdle was not killed but rather wounded in the encounter with the Volunteers p. 78 “Attempted Attack on Ballaghaderreen Barracks” section. The exact date for the action was 11 February p. 79 Sidebar box…11th line….Jack Downs should be spelled Jack Downes p. 79 “Spies” section…3rd paragraph…the exact date for a visit to the spies in Loughlynn was 4 April not 6 April p. 82 The wording of the Paddy Moran article was altered to reflect the fact that Moran was indeed guilty of the charges brought against him. He played an active role in Bloody Sunday at the Gresham Hotel (see The Squad by T. Ryle Dwyer, pp. 169 and 211) p. 86 Paragraph beginning “The demise of Captain Peake”….The Earl of Middleton should be spelled the Earl of Midleton Chapter 6 p. 96 “Bad Luck and Mis-timing” section…the action occurred on 6 April not 9 April p. 98 “Attack on Ballaghaderreen Barracks” section…second paragraph, the name of the participant is Mick Harrington p. 101 “Kilrooskey Fight” section…the Tans were originally on a cycle patrol not in a lorry. Also the attack happened on a Saturday night, 28 May not on 30 May p. 107…2nd paragraph…The beginning words should read “One day later” not “Two days later”……Thomas McGowan was shot p. 110 The name of Peter McArdle needs to be stricken from the listing of Roscommon Police Casualties p. 111 The Ambush at Southpark took place on 10 July not 9 July Many of the dates of Civil War actions have been changed. Why were they wrong in the first place? The author originally took her information from records in the Military Archives dated a specific date, but the actual day of the occurrences has been derived from extensive research in the newspaper articles of the times, which are now available on the internet. Thus, new dates have been affixed to actions in the 3rd edition. Chapter 7 p. 177 Paragraph beginning “Brady and Galvin were the first”, the words “On the night of 9 September” have been added p. 138 The dates of various actions have changed: Next to the last paragraph….skirmish at Ballinlough-- -23 July; Ballinagare 28 July p. 141 In sidebar, Jack Fitzgerald of Cork has been added to the Arigna Flying Column Members p. 144 “A Snapshot of August” section 11 August…..“National troops captured three ex-British Army personnel”…happened on 7 August Republicans were arrested in Kiltimagh, but not thirty Last two lines….Anti-Treaty men stole tons of petrol on 21 August p. 145 By the third bullet----Kiltoom train robbery happened on 16 August Sixth bullet---The Arigna Field hospital was located in a corrugated shed owned by the Arigna Mining Company. Also on that date petrol was seized by Leitrim Volunteers and conveyed to Curry, Co. Sligo Eighth bullet---Sean McCormack was not intentionally killed by Volunteers while attending to officer Rattigan p. 148 Kiltoom train robbery happened on 16 August not 18 August p. 151 Paragraph beginning “Throughout the area,….” Castlegeoghegan Barracks was burned on the 10 October not the 9th p. 152 In sidebar box---Frank Balfe was killed on 6 July p. 158 Section “Chaos Engulfs the County/”…second line…Wording changes to “About 28 December” instead of 28 December. (Multiple searches in the newspapers could not determine the exact date of the attack) Same paragraph….8th line….Not just couriers but the town of Castlerea itself was the target of an attack p. 165 Section “Dwindling Republican Resources”….second bullet…David Daly was captured on 6 February not 30 January p. 166 4th bullet---May Donellan was arrested on 13 March not 15 March p. 167 Section “Republican Truce Talks” second paragraph…5th line. Bill Quirk’s name was misspelled. Should read “Bill Quirke” p. 168 Section “A Sampling of 1923 Anti-Treaty…” 4th bullet---Clonbrook House was broken into on 14 May not 22 May p. 169 The August Sting Operations took place in 1922 not 1923 p. 171 2nd bullet---Jack Keogh was first arrested in the gamekeeper’s cottage in 1922 not 1923. But Keogh was a bit of a magician…he got arrested, escaped, got re-arrested, escaped again so many times that the author needed an abacus to keep track of all his exploits Chronology There were scores of changes in the dates of various actions in the county Roscommon Volunteer Section p. 211 Peter Barrett was killed on 28 September 1923 p. 215 Sean Bermingham died on 10 December 1974 and was buried in Strokestown Cemetery p. 222 John Brennan was the Captain of the Kilgefin Company p. 228 Frank Carty died in 1942 p. 232 Ellen Collins of Aughamuck, Kilrooskey has been added. She was the sister of Peter and Michael, and later married Luke Duffy p. 235 Peter Connaughton of Athleague has been added. He fought in east Kerry as a machine gunner p. 238 Martin Connor (in the shadowed box) has new information. His Irish name is Mordachy, he died in January 1942 and is buried in St. Patrick’s Churchyard Cemetery in Elphin. His picture has been added. The photo of Thomas Connor has been added. New information included: he emigrated to the USA and then to Argentina p. 241 Thomas Corcoran was Captain of the Kilbride Company and a member of the ASU before the Truce. He died in December 1935 p. 243 Joseph Cox was released from Athlone on 13 January 1922 p. 244 Eithne Coyle of Donegal has been added to the list because she was arrested in Ballagh while recruiting for Cumann na mBan p. 249 Information added to Owen Cull: he was a member of the Roscommon County Council 1923- 1928 and was a Sinn Féin candidate for election in 1960 p. 252 MISTAKE although the 3rd edition states that the man in the middle of the photo is Michael Gaherty, Gaherty is really the man in the upper right hand corner of the picture p. 261 Michael Joseph Dockery died on 13 October 1985 not 17 October 1985 p. 268 −269 Patrick Doyle was shot on 18 October 1920 not 19 October 1920 Joseph Drury was active with the Liverpool Volunteers p. 272 Tom Duignan (Deignan) has been more specifically identified as the O/C of Riverstown Battalion in Sligo Thomas Dunne was sent to Wandsworth but released 14 January 1922 p. 287 Never underestimate the influence of elementary school teachers! A mistake that persisited from 1st edition through the 2nd edition was that James Fehilly really existed. After extensive searching, the author found that James Fehilly is really James Feely and that in the 3rd edition the information on page 287 has been consolidated with that of James Feely on page 285 p. 289 Patrick Finnegan is not buried in Oran Cemetery but rather St. Coman’s p. 289 −290 George Fitzgerald did not escape in January 1923 but was released p. 290 In the photo, the 5th man from the left was identified as James Moran, which he was. But his home was not Roscommon but rather Lisnagroagh, Fuerty The first man on the left was mis-identified as Sean Leavy, but his son definitely told the author this was not so. The man was identified as Leavy in a photo formerly published in a Roscommon journal, and thus the author used that information. The real identity of the first man on the left is unknown p. 302 Sean Galvin died in October 1934 p. 303 Both Joe and Michael Garrahan were involved in the Fourmilehouse Ambush p. 310 A picture of Martin Gilligan of Hazelbrook House has been added p. 315 John Morrissey Greally’s name should have only one L. Michael Grealy of Curraghroe died on 14 March 1923 at the age of 27 p. 316 Michael Gunn died in 1962 p. 319 Tom Hannon led an unsuccessful attack on Mount Talbot on 8 July 1922 not in August p. 328 William Jennings was captured 28 September 1923 while riding in a motor car with Tom Keogh, Mick Pender, and one of the Mannion brothers of the Hill of Berries, not at a dance p.

Roscommon and went to School in Carnalasson Schools and later to Farraher Christian Brothers Schools. My father was associated with the Fenian Movement hut it was not through him I inherited my rebel tendencies as he tried to impress on me to have nothing to do with such movements. It was through my association with the G.A.A. that I became interested in the Independence Movement. In travelling around to Football Matches I met and listened to the talk of many of the men who afterwards became prominent in the Movement. Though my football associations I got to know Liam Mellows. In 1916 during the period of the Rebellion our house was raided and searched by Police and Soldiers. I cannot say why this was done. Perhaps my association with some of the men who took part in the Rebellion through Football led them to believe I was also mixed up in it or it may have been on account of my father's Fenian association. I decided then that as I had the name I might as well have the gains. "Joining the Irish Volunteers".

CORRIGENDUM Page 6, paragraph 3, line 5: Replace "of sheepmeat" with "by sheep grazing". ABSTRACT This report details the in vivo monitoring of mountain sheep undertaken by the Nuclear Energy Board during the period 5th October to 18th December 1987. A total of 636 farms in upland areas in eight counties were visited and 7,429 sheep were monitored. In addition, monitoring of sheep for the home and export market was undertaken at five slaughterhouses where a further 779 animals were examined. The farm monitoring identified 989 sheep with radiocaesium activities above 600 Bq/kg, of which 162 were above 1000 Bq/kg. Statistical testing was used to identify areas deemed to be "reserved" and "cleared" in each of the counties visited. It is concluded that the imposition of restrictions on the movement and slaughter of sheep may not be the most effective means of preventing animals with unacceptably high radiocaesium concentrations reaching the market.

Conditions, if any, Stipulated by Witness. Nil File No.S.2314 Form STATEMENT BY JAMES EDWARD FEELY Great Meadow. Boyle. Co. Roscommon My father was a member of the Fenian organisation. He had to leave the country and go to America after the '67 Rising. He lived in the United States in New York and was linked up with the Clan-na-Gael there. When he returned to Ireland he was an active member of the land League. I was brought up in the Fenian faith with a rebel outlook. In 1914, a company of the Irish Volunteers was formed in Boyle and I joined them. The company was about 100 strong, but about 4O of them went to the British Army when the first Great War started. A man named Charles Devine was in charge of the company then. We had no arms of any sort. When Redmond finally split the Volunteers by recommending the Volunteers to take service in the British Army, all but about a dozen men went over to the Red mondite side and became members of the new Irish National Volunteers. The dozen or so of us who plumped for the Irish Volunteers now became inactive and the Irish Volunteer organisation died out. About February 1915 Alec McCabe visited Boyle and took a number of us into the I.R.B.
