File relates to John Mulchrone's unsuccessful application under the Army Pensions Act, 1932 in respect of his son IRA Lieutenant Patrick Mulchrone. John Mulchrone was deemed not to have been dependent on his son at the time of the latter's death.
Patrick Mulchrone died during the Civil War on 3 November 1922 in Mayo County Hospital from the effects of a gunshot wound received by him from National Army forces at Brockagh, Aughagowla, County Mayo the previous day. According to references on file, Patrick Mulchrone was shot in a house in which he had been sheltering by a National Army raiding party. John Mulchrone claims that his son was shot by a Captain Ruddy of the National Army in Gallagher's house in Brockagh.
