| Subject Information |
Archivist’s Note: Subject’s brother James Hogan (1924A64) was also in receipt of a military service pension.
File relates to Michael Hogan’s receipt of a military service pension in respect of his service with the IRA and the National Army in the service periods between 01 April 1919 and 30 September 1923 during the War of Independence, Truce Period and Civil War. He unsuccessfully applied for service in the service periods from 01 April 1918 to 31 March 1919. Hogan was awarded 6.5 years service for pension purposes in 1927 at Grade D under the Military Service Pensions Act, 1924.
Michael Hogan states that he was a law student studying in National University Dublin with one month left before qualification when he gave up his studies to work for the Irish Volunteers and Sinn Féin in counties Monaghan and Cavan in the 1918 General Election. He claims that he was asked by Paddy Sheehan to do this work and travelled with McCurtain and Stack to Monaghan.
Subject states that he joined Kilrickle Company, Loughrea Battalion, [South East Galway Brigade], Irish Volunteers in April 1918 under the command of John Monaghan and Laurence Burke (MSP34REF13485) and was appointed First Lieutenant in 1919. During the War of Independence (January 1919 – July 1921), Michael Hogan claims that he took part in an attack on a British lorry at Dalystown (Summer 1919); arms raids and the destruction of Kilrickle Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) Barracks. Forced to go on the run, he went to Cork City [1 Cork Brigade] in October 1920 and took part in attacks/ambushes on British forces. Applicant claims that he was arrested in early May 1921 in connection with shooting of a British army soldier in the street. Subject state that he was held in Cork Barracks for one month but was released after an identification parade. Michael Hogan claims that he joined 3 Cork Brigade ‘Flying Column’ (Active Service Unit) under the command of Liam Deasy (MSP34REF2087) in June 1921 but does not appear to have had any operations before the truce.
During the Truce Period, the applicant served in 1 Western Division, IRA under the command of Michael Brennan (24SP9375) and was engaged in organising work and training camps. On 02 November 1921, Michael Hogan says that he was sent to London, England by Éamon de Valera “on business for the state”. Reference Michael Brennan claims that he “sent” the applicant “to London for supplies”. Applicant was arrested in connection with procurement of rifles and machine guns from Windsor Barracks, London and detained in Wormwood Scrubs Prison and Brixton Prison from 20 November 1921 to 01 April 1922.
Returning to Ireland, Michael Hogan enlisted in the National Army at Ordinance Barracks, Ennis, County Clare on 07 April 1922. Taking the pro Treaty side in the Civil War, the subject served throughout the conflict but there are no details on file. In early 1924, his rank was Major General in the Defence Forces.
File includes completed reference forms in support of the subject’s claim from BJ Geoghegan (1926); Captain Laurence Kelly (1926), Lieutenant M Scanlon (1926), Colonel D Reynolds (1926) and Major General Brennan (1926). Subject’s payment files has not been found in the collection to date.
