• Michael Barrett and Patrick O Donnell commemoration
» Joe Dwyer
Republicans in London assembled in late May to lay wreaths and remember two executed patriots; the falsely accused Fenian Michael Barrett - executed in 1868 - and the ‘Invincible avenger’ Patrick O’Donnell - executed in 1883. Both patriots lie in a mass grave, in City of London Cemetery, containing the excavated mortal remains of those executed in the historic Newgate Prison.
“Lynch-lawed and on the spot”
Michael Barrett was born in the Ederney, Co. Fermanagh, in 1841. As a young man, in search of work, he moved to Glasgow where he joined the Irish Republican Brotherhood.
