Daniel Tracey (c1795-1832), physician, journalist and politician. The details of his life in Ireland are sketchy. According to Mullally, the following account was printed in The Vindicator in 1833 after his death. He was born in Roscrea, Co. Tipperary, in May, 1795, the son of Michael Tracey, a merchant and ??? Mainfold of Erescourt, Birr Co. Offaly. He was orphaned at a young age and an uncle on his father’s side raised him and a brother and sister. At the age of ten he was removed from a seminary in his native town to a school in Clonmel. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and after graduation studied medicine at the Royal College of Surgeons, Dublin. He practised medicine in Dublin for several years; but in 1825 he emigrated to Canada with his brother and sister. According to Reynolds, Dr. Daniel Tracey (who changed the spelling of the name) was of an Irish branch of the well-known English family, and by much the eldest of four orphaned children, a graduate of Trinity College and of its medical school, he was a practicing physician residing in Offaly county, Ireland, when the accidental death by drowning of a younger brother, to whom he was fondly attached, led him to decide on a change of residence to Canada. After a shipwreck in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, he arrived in Montreal in the year 1825, having with him his brother, John, then a lad of fourteen years, and his sister, Ann, aged fifteen. The Trinity College record is as follows: Daniel Tracey, Pen. (Mr Morris), Dec 5, 1814, aged 20; R.C., s. of Denis, Mercator; b. King’s Co. (Offaly). A French reference states that his father was Denys (Denis) Tracey a merchant of Offaly and his mother Anne Manford. His life in Canada is well documented. He began the practise of his profession in Montreal in 1825 and lived in either on St. James Street or in the then St. Antoine Suburbs. In 1828 he established the Vindicator, a Reform newspaper, and became its editor. When news of O’Connell's electoral victory arrived in Lower Canada in September 1828 Tracey organized the province’s first Friends of Ireland Society. In May 1832, he was elected to represent the west ward of Montreal in the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada. He died of cholera in Montreal on July 18, 1832.

Denis Treacy
Denis Treacy died tragically recently after a short
illness. Denis was a leading member of this Association for many years. He
started boating in the mid 1970s with his wife Nuala and his children. Their
first boat was Suki but he will be better remembered for the series of Silver
Ladys which followed.
A phenomenal memory for names gave Denis the widest
range of friends and acquaintances on the river and throughout the Association.
He also had a great memory for songs and led many a sing-song on the river.
Denis served the Association in many capacities. His
interest is shown in the fact that he was a member of Dublin, Carrick on
Shannon and Athlone branches. He served on the Dublin Branch committee, on the
Shannon Harbour Rally committee and on the Shannon Rally committee and also, of
course, as Commodore of the Shannon Rally. For many years right up to the
present day Denis served on Council. His experience and particularly his advice
will be missed.
To Nuala, Laurie and Denis Jr, and to all his extended
family both in Ireland and the United States, we offer our most sincere
condolences.

John R. Treacy, a native of Youghal, County Cork, who taught in Limerick and Dublin before coming to Sligo in 1904. He taught in Summerhill College and in the Technical School. He had been involved with Griffith and William Rooney in Sinn Féin while in Dublin and was one of the “Apostles of Sinn Féin” in Sligo. During November 1916, the Sinn Féin party in Sligo town started a
club called “The Wanderers Gaelic Club” but was popularly called “The Sinn
Féin Club”. Among those involved was John R. Treacy. In 1918. on August 15th there was a nationwide protest by the Sinn Féin organisation against
the banning of the organisation and the banning of meetings in Ireland. At
various places throughout the land speakers read a printed statement from
Sinn Féin and as a result were arrested. In County Sligo a large meeting was
held outside the Town Hall. The statement was read by J. R. Tracey. As a
result of their action on August 15th Professor Tracey and
John Hennigan were arrested on Thursday night/Friday morning and taken into
custody. They were still in Sligo prison awaiting trial a week later and both
men were offered some hours liberty to visit their families on Sunday August
18th. Treacy accepted but Hennigan refused. On
Tuesday, 27th August, the pair were removed to Galway prison. On
September 5th a meeting of the Sligo Urban Technical
Committee was held under the chairmanship of Rev P. Butler. Treacy was a
teacher at the Sligo Technical School and had been there for fourteen years.
His appointment was part time subject to annual re-appointment. A letter from
Treacy was read at the meeting in which he stated that “owing to
circumstances over which I have no control I shall be absent for some time”.
The committee decided unanimously to re-appoint him and to appoint a
substitute pending his return. On September 24th at a court martial
in Renmore Barracks Galway, Tracey and Hennigan were found guilty. At the
trial Hennigan admitted reading the Sinn Féin manifesto and said that he
would do so again if the occasion arose. Both men were sentenced to two years
imprisonment. In the case of Professor Tracey he was released at the
beginning of October on medical advice. When he arrived at Sligo Station he
was met by a large crowd of Sinn Féiners and escorted to his home. In 1919,
on St. Patrick's Day another protest meeting was held this time about the
prisoners especially those from Sligo: John Lynch, Henry Monson, John
Hennigan, John Kelly and Frank O'Beirne. The meeting was held in the Market
Yard and the speakers included the Mayor, J. R.Tracey, R. G. Bradshaw, Michael
Nevin, J. J. Clancy. Members of the Volunteers were there under the command
of Liam Pilkington. The other Sligo prisoner, J. J. O'Connell, did not arrive
in Sligo until Wednesday March 19th. His arrival was not expected and there
was not a large crowd to meet him. However about fifty Volunteers did turn
out and escorted him to the Gaelic Club, Teeling Street, J. R. Tracey was president of the club. He
was arrested in December 1920, as

He will chair the committee on the Good Friday Agreement a position worth €20,000. Deputy Treacy said he is honoured to have been appointed chair of this committee. "This committee has been established by An Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern TD, to oversee any issues arising from Ireland's role as a signatory to the Good Friday Agreement. I have maintained a very strong interest in the affairs of the North throughout my 25 years unbroken service as a Dáil Deputy and I am honoured to be heading up this important Committee." It has been stated that Noel Treacy was not a ‘fan’ of Bertie Ahern. The
Irish Times - Friday, May 7, 2010 Former Fianna Fáil minister Noel Treacy says he will donate his pension to charity, as the Government narrowly defeated a Fine Gael demand for an immediate end to the payment of pensions to serving politicians.

|
Sean Treacy, (1895-1920) He was born 14 Feb 1895 in
Soloheadbeg, Co. Tipperary, son of Denis Treacy and Bridget Allis. From an early age, Seán had nationalist leanings, and in his teens he joined the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) which later evolved into the Irish Republican Army (IRA). In August 1917, Seán was arrested and spent two months in jail. The following year he was rearrested and spent four months in jail. Then on 21 January 1919, along with other members of the IRA's Third Tipperary Brigade, including Dan Breen, Seán took part in the Soloheadbeg ambush in which three members of the Royal Irish Constabulary, who were escorting a transportation of explosives, were waylaid and shot dead. This was the first military incident of the War of Independence. A few months later, in Co. Limerick, Seán was seriously wounded in a successful attempt to free an I.R.A. prisoner who was being escorted to jail. He recovered, and throughout the latter half of 1919 and most of 1920 he led attacks against the British in Dublin and Co. Tipperary. But on 14 October 1920, in Talbot St. in Dublin, he was recognised by a police detective and in the ensuing gunfight Seán was killed, in front of the 'Republican Outfitters' at No. 94 Talbot Street. A small bronze shield above the door commemorates the spot. Ref:

Seán Tracy (1941?-1998) of Laois, Republican activist and leader
Sean Treacy, of the Heath, Portlaoise Co. Laois, died in 1998, aged 57 years.
He was a staunch republican from the time he was a teenager. He joined the IRA when he was just 17 years old and was soon on active service during the 1956-1962 Border campaign. During the Royal visit to Co. Laois by Princess Margaret in 1964, he played a leading role in the protests against the visit. Along with other republicans he cut down trees to block the Royal cavalcade.
In 1966, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising, he allegedly stole a key to the entrance of Nelson’s Pillar and planted explosives. The resulting explosion quite neatly took the statue and top of the column off with no damage to the surrounding buildings, unlike the Irish Army attempt to demolish the remains.
He continued to be an active republican and in 1969 when the nationalist community came under attack in Northern Ireland, he resumed active service. He was one of the seven members of the original army council of the Provisional IRA in 1970. He took part in numerous attacks in the six counties and evaded capture on several occasions including during the British army's ``Operation Motorman'' in Derry. He allegedly tried to release colleagues from prison twice, using a helicopter and an earth mover. Those who took part in operations with him would often remark later on his bravery and commitment.
At the height of the war in Bosnia he went as a helper with a relief convoy. When the convoy was making its way along an extremely difficult mountain road that was narrow and had a steep drop to one side, some of the drivers became nervous. Sean was determined that they reached their destination so when one driver refused to go any further, Sean drove the lorry for him.
He spent most of his life in the building industry. He was a popular character who liked going to a GAA matches.
Sean Treacy and his workmate Robert Dunne died tragically when a trench they were working in collapsed. The high esteem in which he was held was evident in the large crowd that attended his funeral. Republicans from as far away as Donegal and Kerry were there to pay their respects to a courageous republican soldier. He continued to be loyal to the Republican Movement right up to his death.

Plunkett’s Brigade |
Neil "Plunkett" O’Boyle’s Tir-Chonaill Flying Column which operated in North/West Wicklow from November 1922 to May 1923 The column consisted of Séamas Ó Cáinte, Mícheál Ó
Coileáin, Criostóir de Barra, Pádraig Raghallaigh, Bearnárd Corcáin, Dan Mac
aoidh, F. Plléimeann, Pádraig Ó Seanáin, Séamas Mac Murchú, Pádraig Ó
Feargaill, Séamas Ó Maoilaoidh, Séan Mac Reámoinn agus Seán Treasaigh (of Mountbellew, Galway). The column was
arrested on the 15th May 1923 in a house near Granabeg,
Ballyknockan districk. Plunkett was killed and the rest were taken prisoner. Sir,—The caption—’Women continued to play an active role in
the War of Independence’—under the photograph on page 41 of the last issue
(Autumn 1996) is misleading on two counts. In the first place, it does not
depict a War of Independence flying column but a Civil War one—the Third
Battalion flying column (‘Plunkett’s Own’), No.2 (South Dublin) Brigade.
Secondly, it is a ‘posed’ photograph: there is no evidence that any of the
women depicted were ever ‘active’ and in the course of my research I have
never come across references to women operating in any flying column during
the Tan or Civil War. |

Original photo of 24 men interned in Ballykinlar camp probably taken in early 1921 and quite similar to the one to be found on the back of the book ‘My dear Eva’ by Peader Kearney. Likely to be taken on a camera apparently smuggled into Ballykinlar camp.

as Paddy Sullivan, the "hut leader," Jim Lalor, Tom Tracey, Tom Nolan

Electoral Party in
Ireland
Amongst the many revelations
of electoral party which have lately been brought before the public there is
rather a curious one from the sister Isle. During the late election for
Athlone, a certain Mr. Patrick Groghegan stimulated the patriotic readiness of Wm Tracy to vote for Mr. Ennis by
depositing in his hands the halves of forty £1 notes. In due time when Tracy
applied for the corresponding halves, they were flatly refused. This lax
morality, want of faith, and ingratitude, so rankled in the applicant's injured
breast that he determined to recover his honest earnings by legal proceedings.
Having consulted a solicitor, however, he was informed, to his great delight,
that instead of urging a doubtful claim to the disputed £40, he might, if so
inclined, prosecute Mr. Patrick Greoghehan
for bribery, and put the resulting fine of £1000 into his own pocket.
The suit was brought and tried at
Galway. The defendant allowed judgement to go to by default, and the
full penalty was inflicted: but he lodged a demurrer on the grounds of some
informality. This demurrer was pronounced invalid and Mr. Wm. Tracy has netted
the £100 clear of all expenses. The example of a few cases of the easy earning
of £100 by informers might greatly assist in upsetting the existing nefarious
system of bribery.
