| Subject Information |
File relates to Anne Coleman’s receipt of a partial dependents’ gratuity of £100 (one hundred pounds sterling) in 1937 under the Army Pensions Acts in respect of her grandson IRA Brigade Despatch Rider Patrick Mangan.
Patrick Mangan was shot dead by member/members of the National Army prison guards on 24 September 1922 in Cork Prison while held as a prisoner there during the Civil War. According to references on file Patrick Mangan was shot while going to the assistance of a fellow prisoner who had been wounded during firing from the Prison Guard. There is some disagreement on file as to the exact sequence of events leading up to Mangan’s shooting which occurred subsequent to a successful escape attempt by a number of IRA prisoners held at the jail. Some references state, that at the time of the shooting, the prisoners were protesting at the punishment(s) imposed on them subsequent to the escape by the prison authorities. Other references state that the prisoners were quiet and not protesting but that members of the guard had opened fire for no apparent reason. At the time of his death Patrick Mangan was serving as IRA Officer Commanding, Prisoners No. 2 Wing, Cork Jail. References state that Mangan had served with the Irish Volunteers and IRA from 1918 onwards and during the War of Independence and Civil War.
File includes: original handwritten material submitted and signed on behalf of Anne Coleman in support of her application; representations on behalf of Anne Coleman from Sean Goulding TD; undated unidentified newspaper cutting reporting the death of Patrick Mangan; material (21 April 1936 – 1 February 1937) including original signed handwritten reports and correspondence and original signed typed and copy typed correspondence regarding reports from Customs and Excise investigating officers in Youghal, County Cork, and Cork City to the Army Pensions Board as to the circumstances and means of Anne Coleman and the degree of her dependency on Patrick Mangan at the time of his death; original signed handwritten and typed statements and letters regarding Anne Coleman’s application and Patrick Mangan’s service and death from Sean Moylan TD, Sean Goulding TD, George Power, J. J. Power, James Brennock, Seamus MacCos (James Coss), Senator Seamus Fitzgerald, Fred Crowley TD and P. Ó Faoiláin (Patrick (Pax) Whelan).
