Kevin Barry's last cigarette, Terrence MacSwiney's prison pillowcase and IRA weaponry displayed together in online first

This revolver is reputed to have been used in an incident during the Civil War, at Ballymacool House, Letterkenny, Co Donegal. In early June 1922, Ballymacool and Rockhill Houses in Letterkenny were taken over by Anti-Treaty forces.  The revolver was donated to the museum by Barney Sweeney, Letterkenny. It is on display in the museum but it is also available to view online as part of Donegal County Museum’s Sketchfab 3D collection. Picture: Donegal County Museum

Michael Hogan’s GAA jersey, Kevin Barry's last cigarette, Terrence MacSwiney's prison pillowcase, and IRA weaponry are all set to go online in a brand new exhibition for the Decade of Centenaries. 

Never displayed together before now, the stand-out exhibits highlight some of the incredible stories of Ireland's struggle for independence and the bitter acrimony of the Civil War.
