When I put this page online I was really hoping for some feedback from people out there, people who could help clear up this problem list, by providing evidence one way or the other on these names.

I am glad to say that a Mr Warner was in touch today with a sensible explanation to cut one name of this list, KM O'Malley.

O'Duffy mentions a Tyrell O'Malley, from Ross House, Co. Mayo while Stradling lists a KM O'Malley. Neither present definite proof that the man was fighting in Spain. The seperate listing for KM O'Malley has been removed on the basis that Mr Warner tells me that as a Knight of Malta, Tyrell O'Malley could also style himself as O'Malley, KM.

Thanks for that, so that's one problem sorted. Any other help would be appreciated.

On recently looking at the lists again I realise that P FAREY of Belfast, who had been listed here, is just a misreading for Peter FANNING of BElfast, so that's one error removed from the books. I would welcome any further corrections.

• McCarthy James Spring's Lane, Tralee, Kerry
• McCarthy W. Bandon, Cork. - In the National Archives in Dublin there is a ref. to a William McCarthy who had been 'repatriated by the Legation at public expense.' There is no such name listed among the Republican names and no indication that he was with the Bandera.
• McConnell V. Dublin
• McCullagh John Monaghan
• McGhee T. Tullaveen, Cavan
• McGrath C. Dublin
• McGrogan Brian Belfast. A small note in the Irish News said that Brian McGrogan 24 years old, was the first Northern vol. for O'Duffy. He was from Lisburn Avenue, Belfast. "I know that if we get to Spain we will undergo great risks, but nevertheless I am very enthusiastic about the matter and I am patiently waiting every day on the word from General O'Duffy." His name does not appear on any of the Spanish lists, so while he volunteered he may not actually have gone.

• O'Grady John 19 Queen Street, Clonmel, Tipperary
• O'Halloran Michael Ballyheigue, Kerry
• O'Keefe John Belfast
• O'Leary Joe ?
• O'Malley Tyrell Ross House, Co. Mayo. O'Duffy mentions details in his book, the source of which was the Irish Independent, 14/3/37, that Captain Tyrell O'Malley, Knight of Malta, had a conversation with a Captain Grijalba, a Spanish officer who had fought with the Bandera. The Spaniard said the Irish were good soldiers. My inference from this is exchange is that O'Malley had not been in the Bandera. That conversation was on the French-Spanish border, so perhaps O'Malley was out with the non-intervention committee. Stradling also lists him as KM O'Malley, p261.
