Civil War Executions

Included in the Military Service Collection are files relating to seventy-two (72) individuals executed during the Civil War as a result of their service with the anti-Treaty forces. Files for a further two individuals - Michael Grealy (DP1835) and Luke Burke (DP903) - who were also executed during the period are not included to the listing below. These executions have been excluded as the Military Service Registration Board (MSRB) judged, that at the time of the events leading to and at the time of the events leading to and at the time of their execution, neither were engaged in active service nor were they members of one of the organisations covered by the legislation.
