From a staunchly Republican family, Michael O'Hanrahan's outwardly
quiet and serious demeanour concealed a burning desire to see an
independent Ireland. He was instrumental in setting up the first
branch of the Gaelic League in Carlow. Michael also helped found
the workingman's club in Carlow, which he left when they decided to
admit a British soldier. After moving to Dublin, he played
important roles in both Sinn Fein and the Irish Volunteers. As
quartermaster of the Volunteers, he was responsible for the
procurement of many of the arms used in the Easter Rising. Michael
O'Hanrahan was also a talented journalist and novelist whose
development was cut short by his execution in 1916. In this new
biography Conor Kostick brings to life a man who helped launch the
1916 Rising.
