Seán Mac Diarmada was born on February
28 1883 near Kiltyclogher, Co Leitrim. He emigrated to Glasgow at
the age of fifteen years. Returning to Belfast he was sworn into
the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) in 1908. He transferred to
Dublin where he became a close personal friend of Tom Clarke. Together
they later went on to form the military committee which would plan
the Easter Rising which took place in 1916.
