An article from Tipperary Live, covering the launch of my Joeseph MacDonagh biography.
A capacity crowd attended the launch of the new biography of Alderman Joseph MacDonagh, TD, on Culture night, Friday, September 23, in the Thomas MacDonagh museum in Cloughjordan.
Joe MacDonagh’s well-known older brother Thomas was executed after the 1916 Rising, and the book traces MacDonagh’s roles in the Independence movement from 1916 until his untimely death on Christmas Day, 1922, days after he was released from Mountjoy prison for medical treatment.
