To my parents

This project started life in 2007 as a dissertation for an M.Phil in Modern Irish History in Trinity College, Dublin. That dissertation was completed in 2008 under the supervision of Dr Anne Dolan. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Dr Dolan who was, and continues to be, a source of advice, encouragement and inspiration to my research.

My name would not be on this book were it not for Lorcan Collins, creator and co-editor of the Sixteen Lives series. Lorcan has shown a great amount of faith in me and for that I am eternally grateful. As well as shepherding me along on this project, Lorcan also sourced many of the brilliant photographs that are reproduced in this book.

At the OBrien Press I am indebted to Michael OBrien for the opportunity. I am grateful to my editor Ide N Laoghaire and designer Emma Byrne whose expertise and professionalism is evident throughout the book.

A number of friends read extracts and chapters at various stages of the books life and I am most grateful to them all: Conor Mackey, Fergal OLeary, Ian Priestley, Rita Murray, Jrgen Karwig and Amy Branagan. James Buckley has proofread, provided feedback and a keen and interested ear since I began writing about Michael Mallin and deserves special thanks. Fr Joseph Mallin, Michael Mallins son, has been an inspiration and provided invaluable information in his many wonderful letters. Other relatives of Mallin Niall O Callanain, Una Ui Cheallanain and Sean Tapley have also been very kind in dealing with my questions. I thank Francis Devine for information and membership numbers for the Silk Weavers Union, and Denis Condon on Dublin cinema.

I would like to thank the archivists and staff at the National Library of Ireland, National Archives, Dublin, the Allen Library and Trinity College Library for their help during my research. I wish to pay particular thanks to those who helped source and provided permission for reproduction of photographs, in particular Niall Bergin and Anne-Marie Ryan of the Kilmainham Gaol museum and June Shannon and Mary ODoherty of the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland.

Finally, I wish to place on record my deep gratitude to my parents, Seamus and Jacinta, who have been fully supportive of everything I have done or tried to do. This book is for them.
