Message: <blockquote data-quote="scolairebocht" data-source="post: 8901" data-attributes="member: 8">Footnotes‘O’Cuinneagain’ below is Michael O’Cuinneagain, On the Arm of Time (Tanatallon, Donegal Town, 1992) and ‘Lenihan’ is Denis Lenihan, The Death of Michael Collins, Who Pulled the Trigger (2014). O’Cuinneagain was the son of Patrick Cunningham, MP for Tyrone, and whose family are involved with Strathroy Dairy in Co. Tyrone. He also tapped into a very wide circle of knowledgeable Collins researchers in the 80s in Ireland, which even included a few people who knew him like Sean MacBride.1. “he was also appointed legal adviser to the British Post Office with access to many of the intelligence-gathering activities of the state.”( <a href="https://www.eurekastreet.com.au/article/the-boy-who-would-not-grow-up" target="_blank">https://www.eurekastreet.com.au/article/the-boy-who-would-not-grow-up</a> ). It was even said that information on the Cairo gang, those killed on Bloody Sunday, came from Crompton to Collins via Moya (O’Cuinneagain, p.102.).2. O’Cuinneagain p.68.3. Another source for example is Richard Walsh TD, a senior IRA officer in Mayo at the time:“In pursuance of this agreed policy, an arrangement was come to between the two military organisations to the effect that an exchange of arms would take place, i.e., the anti-Treaty forces would hand over their rifles and other weapons they possessed to the Treaty forces in exchange for weapons got from the British by the pro-Treaty forces. The reason stated for this exchange was that when the exchange was completed it was proposed to attack the British forces at the posts held by them in the six Northern Counties. The British at this time had evacuated almost all Southern Ireland posts with the exception of a few coastal defence positions. The Provisional Government policy would be, in the event of the attacks on the Six Counties positions, to deny all responsibility for those attacks, and it was stated that to prevent their being involved in those attacks, it was absolutely necessary that none of the arms which the Provisional Government obtained from England should be identified if arms were captured during operations against British forces in the Northern Counties.”(Richard Walsh, Bureau of Military History Witness Statement no.400, p.175-6.)4. O’Cuinneagain p.87-8.5. “I called at an office at the archway near the Queen’s theatre in Pearse St. [Dublin] and there I met J.P. Dalton – Emmet Dalton’s father – and from him I purchased for £25, six Mausers of the 1896 Spanish model pattern, and one 1877 Mauser Single-barreled rifle. A week later, Emmet Dalton arrived at my business premises in Ballyhaunis with the six rifles, but no ammunition. I had already received ammunition at this stage from Belfast through an Orangeman – I had only about 25 rounds. I took Emmet Dalton and my foreman, Pat Kennedy, who was in the Volunteers, to the police rifle range and we did our practice openly. Emmet Dalton told me that John Redmond was getting him a commission in the British army. Emmet Dalton was wearing a Christian Brothers cap at the time; he told me he was 18 years of age. His statement made me sad, because it cut straight across what he was then doing. I tried to persuade him not to join, but I was not successful.”(Pat Moylett, Bureau of Military History Witness Statement no.767, p.3.)6. Oscar Traynor, Bureau of Military History Witness Statement no. 340, p.80.7. O’Cuinneagain p.97.8. O’Cuinneagain p.100.9. O’Cuinneagain p.102-3, see <a href="http://www.orwellianireland.com/armoftime2.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.orwellianireland.com/armoftime2.jpg</a> .10. Lenihan p.23.11. <a href="http://www.orwellianireland.com/armoftime2.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.orwellianireland.com/armoftime2.jpg</a> .12. What was known about the driver before this article was written was:– he was a Free State Army driver;– had been in the British Army;– was called Michael Corry but in other accounts he is described as ‘M B Corry’.In the 1922 census of the Free State army you can see this Michael Corry listed as a driver. He was in the British Army, because his marriage certificate states he was a ‘soldier’ in 1917 and it is him because the address of his wife is the same as that address in the 1922 Free State army census. Also further research on him showed his middle name as Bartholomew, which obviously corresponds then to the ‘M B Corry’ reference.The information on him and his family was compiled from: Birth, Death and Marriage Civil Records, and some newspaper death records, on the dates given; and from the records of Glasnevin cemetery.13. According to the record of his death in the Irish Civil Registers of Births, Deaths and Marriages.14. O’Cuinneagain p.103.15. “which Taylor seems to have obtained” (Lenihan p.14.).16. Lenihan p.34.17. ‘Corry’s account, of which there is more than one version, but only one of which is available here’ (Lenihan p.17, quoting Eoin Neeson, The Life and Death of Michael Collins (Cork, 1968), p.121.)18. Evening Herald 12/7/1968, p.10.</blockquote>
