1916–1921 Club

1916–1921 Club

The 1916–1921 Club was founded in the 1940's. The motivation for the Club was to heal the divisions created by the Irish Civil War. Protagonists from both sides were invited to join. The Association of the Old Dublin Brigade, Óglaigh na hÉireann (IRA) was also open to the surviving members of the War of Independence. The Club incorporated the Association in the early 1980's as their membership declined. Sean O'Mahony, "Death in the Castle": Three murders in Dublin Castle 1920. Publisher: 1916/1921 Club.]
