George Clancy

George Clancy

George Clancy was an Irish nationalist politician and Mayor of Limerick. He was shot dead by the Auxiliary Police in 1921 during the Anglo-Irish conflict (1919-1922). His successor as Mayor, Michael O'Callaghan, was murdered on the same night by the Black and Tans.

Clancy was educated at Crescent College Limerick and thereafter at the Catholic University in St Stephen's Green, now University College, Dublin. One of his class mates was James Joyce and he features as the character, Michael Davin, in Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
