Summary
| Description |
English: Henry McEntee didn't support the Treaty, and became a captain in the re-organised Dublin IRA during Cogadh na gCarad (Ireland's Civil War).
Whilst near his home on Gloucester Street (today Seán McDermott Street) on Tuesday the 31st July 1923 McEntee was abducted by members of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). This counter-insurgency police unit had close links with National Army Intelligence and with the Protective Corps; all were based in Oriel House on Westland Row. On 3 August 1923 his body was found with a number of bullet wounds in a field at Maher’s farm, close to the Jamestown Road in Finglas in county Dublin. For more information on Henry McEntee and the activities of the Dublin IRA during Ireland's Civil War please see https://militarypensions.wordpress.com/2022/05/27/release-12-iras-dublin-brigade-active-service-unit-1922-23/ Henry MacEntee is interred in the Republican plot at Glasnevin Cemetery. A National Graves Association memorial plaque was placed there c.1932 and was maintained by the Fianna Sluagh in Finglas during the 1950's and 60's. Here Darren McGowan of Dublin Headstones is volunteering for the National Graves Association re-installing a cleaned memorial plaque ahead of the centenary of McEntee’s killing. |
