"Proud to Die for Ireland" Thomas Whelan & Patrick Moran, executed 1921 A copy of the Manual of Catholic Piety, Duffy, Dublin, n.d., the leather cover stamped 'Official Copy,' stamped on f.e.p. 'Prisoners' Library, Mountjoy Prison,' inscribed in ink on f.e.p. 'Thomas Whelan / March 13th 1921 / Sentenced to Death / Mountjoy Prison / Dublin.' A most poignant item. Thomas Whelan, from Co. Galway, and Patrick Moran, from Co. Roscommon, were both members of the Irish Volunteers. Patrick Moran fought in the Jacob's Factory garrison during the Easter Rising and was imprisoned; later he became a Captain in the Dublin Brigade. Both men were arrested after 'Bloody Sunday,' 21 November 1920, when fourteen British intelligence officers were shot dead by members of Michael Collins' squad.' Whelan and Moran were separately charged with the murder of British officers in the course of this operation. Both were convicted and sentenced to death, although there was credible evidence that both were at Mass, miles away, at the time of the attacks. Patrick Moran was so convinced that his innocence would be recognised, that he declined an opportunity to escape from Mountjoy with another prisoner (who got away successfully). The Manual is inscribed the two condemned men for the prison chaplain, Canon John Waters, who would have heard their confessions and administered Mass before the executions. Canon Waters was not known for his sympathy for Republicans, but presumably he was sufficiently impressed by their character and demeanor to ask for their signatures. Patrick Moran, Patrick Whelan and their comrade Kevin Barry were among ten Republican prisoners hanged at Mountjoy in 1920 - 21, whose bodies were reinterred in Glasnevin Cemetery after a full State funeral in 2001.

Items which can be definitively certified as having belonged to Collins personally are extremely rare, since his lifestyle did not lend itself to accumulation of property. Provenance: The family of the late General Michael Collins.

Important & Poignant Association Terence Mac Swiney's Wedding Silver A pierced silver Dish Ring, 5 1/2 ozs, by Egan (of Cork and Dublin), finely decorated with a hound, a doe, a partridge, a swan, flowers, fruit etc., with hallmarks for Dublin 1916 and with a panel inscribed in Gaelic lettering, 'M .. / Agus / T. Mac S. / Lá a bpósta / 9 / 6 /17', the lettering partly rubbed away but still legible; the lower rim with inscription 'Ó Chailínibh Sgoil Íte Naomhtha' [from the girls of St. Itas, the independent school in Cork founded by Máire and Aine MacSwiney, sisters of Terence, after Maire was dismissed from her teaching post following her arrest in her classroom during the 1916 Rising]. *Terence MacSwiney was an founder member of the Irish Volunteers in Cork. Although the planned Rising in Cork in 1916 did not take place, he and other Cork Volunteers were arrested and detained in England and Wales. In June 1917 he married Muriel [Muirgheal] Murphy, a member of the Cork brewing family. They had one daughter, whom Terence rarely saw, as he was unable to live at home due to military harassment. Terence became Lord Mayor of Cork in 1920 after the murder of his friend Tomas Mac Curtain, probably by RIC men during a curfew. On 12 August 1920 he was arrested at Cork City Hall. He was sentenced to two years imprisonment for possession of a military cipher, but told the court he would set a term to his detention. He declined to accept food, and died in Brixton Prison 74 days later. His enormous funeral is regarded as a turning point in public support for the Republican struggle. An attractive and poignant item, which surely should find a place in a Cork Public Collection.

After further discussions he agreed to sign a document calling for a surrender.
