Michael Brendan Mulvihill (b.1949) ✓ In Stock

Michael Brendan Mulvihill initially discusses the many members of his family who worked in the Irish Civil Service. He explains that his father often visited relatives in Ballyduff near Tralee, from where Michael Mulvihill originated, and he recalls visiting the old home which is now a summer house. He also recalls the importance to his father of his uncle’s reputation. A letter written to his father in 1968, concerning his uncle Michael who was killed in 1916, is read.

Michael Brendan reads a letter written to Michael Mulvihill’s sister Margaret by N. O’Neill, the sergeant who discovered his body in Moore Lane at Easter Week. A plaque to commemorate Michael Mulvihill’s death was erected at the family home at Ardoughter, Ballyduff, in 1966, he explains. He reads a letter from his father, written in 1966 to Mr Pierce of The Kerryman regarding the inclusion of an article about his uncle Michael Mulvihill in the new edition of Kerry’s Fighting Story. He writes about his researches and the verification of facts relating to the life of Michael Mulvihill. Mulvihill’s brother-in-law and IRA colleague, Austin Kennan, is mentioned. Michael Brendan reflects upon the sacrifice of the m
