Republican at home, Republican abroad

from National Library of Ireland on The Commons

  The dib dot ie has a long article on Frank Ryan, a leftist and Republican. He opposed Franco and, per that article:
  In Spain Ryan was the senior Irish officer in the International Brigades. He took part in the battle of Jarama (February 1937) and returned to Ireland, wounded (March). While at home he edited the left-wing Irish Democrat and took part in a violent IRA anti-coronation rally in Dublin. Against his wishes he was nominated as an ‘anti-fascist’ candidate in the June 1937 elections for Dublin City South; he polled 875 votes. He also edited the Book of the XVth International Brigade (1938). Ryan returned to Spain, and in March 1938 he was wounded and captured by Italian troops at Calaceite. He was imprisoned under harsh conditions in Burgos, and sentenced to death. An Irish fascist, Thomas Gunning, provided information on Ryan to his captors. Ryan was greatly admired by his fellow prisoners; he refused to give the fascist salute or sing the nationalist anthem. An international campaign succeeded in having his sentence commuted.

• Niall McAuley said:

  After the Civil War, the Irish Government recognized Franco's government in 1939, Envoy L.H. Kerney presented his credentials in Burgos in April a month before this leaflet.

• Niall McAuley said:

  I'm guessing the "agent" of Franco in Dublin was a diplomat of some sort.

• Niall McAuley said:

  Here is a Feb 1939 memo on the Irish Governments thoughts on recognizing Franco.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Niall McAuley "... a diplomat of some sort". Mr McAuley, I expected better of you. Thought you'd be able to excavate his [presumably] name, rank, and serial number for us! 😀
