Tadhg Barry: New book revives memory of Corkman shot exactly 100 years ago 

Despite his prominence in several areas of public life in Cork, and his tragic end, Tadhg Barry has never had the profile of some of his contemporaries 

Utter Disloyalist: Tadhg Barry and the Irish Revolution

The last high-profile person to be shot by the British in the War of Independence, his funeral brought hundreds of thousands of people to the streets of Cork and Dublin... so why has the name of Tadhg Barry faded from memory?

That's one of the questions a new book on the native of Blarney Street in Cork seeks to answer. Written by UCC historian Donal Ó Drisceoil and published by Mercier Press, Utter Disloyalist: Tadhg Barry and the Irish Revolution traces the incredible life of a figure who was shot dead 100 years ago by a teenage soldier at Ballykinlar internment camp in Co Down.
