Parents and Siblings of Liam Lynch

100 years ago, on 10th April 1923 near Newcastle Co. Tipperary, the death of the renowned Chief of Staff of the anti-Treaty IRA, General Liam Lynch, signalled the end of the Irish Civil War.

“Since early January, it seemed, only the intense faith and dynamism of one man – Liam Lynch – prevented the anti-Treatyites’ army from moral collapse” (The Civil War, Eoin Neeson 1966)
