Just one correction: Kevin Barry was tried by a military court - British Army officers, under the presidency of Brigadier-General C.C. Onslow. The Courtmartial was held in Marlborough Barracks (now McKee Barracks) not far from Mountjoy Jail where Kevin Barry was held and subsequently executed. The scaffold on which he died is today preserved in the prison. Excellent site.

What is interesting about Kevin Barry is that he was firstly tortured, in order to extract information from him. He did not give in and had to be treated afterwards by a military doctor. After his execution, the British refused to give his body to his family and only during October 2001 was his and other's bodies exhumed and buried with full military honors. Thank you for an excellent post!!! Excellent one, Jason!!
