Victim of Civil War honoured on Easter Sunday

On Easter Sunday last, a commemoration honouring all that died in the struggle for Irish freedom took place at the IRA monument in Elphin.

Especially commemorated this year was Michael Grealy (Curraghroe), who was executed one hundred years ago by the Free State government. Michael Grealy had been arrested after a bank raid in Oldcastle, Co. Meath in February 1923. Also arrested was his companion, Luke Burke of Keady, Co. Armagh. Both men were charged with the bank raid, court-martialled, and executed in Mullingar military barracks on March 13th, 1923.

Their bodies were interred in the barrack yard, and in 1924 they were disinterred and handed over to their families for a proper burial. Michael Grealy’s remains were returned to Curraghroe and buried with full republican honours.

After the ceremony in Elphin on Sunday, a wreath was laid at Grealy’s grave in Cloontuskert Abbey cemetery.
