Too much tv

@Thomas_Brady or other Limerick historians.
What’s the verdict on Sean South, not a character I’ve ever read much about.
Article in the leader has mixed messages, suggesting he may have been a fascist and anti semite?

Bit of a religious looper. Read somewhere he used to run around Limerick at night with a flashlight announcing himself to courting couples.

He could turn up anywhere when the shades of night came down

Its best not to scratch too deeply on some of those heros. Pearse sounds like he was mentally deranged altogether

Get Behind me Satan

They weren’t saints. They were fighting in a war

I read somewhere that he was a phony. He took credit for others doings. I really don’t know

He’s basically famous for being shot sure. He hardly faked that. Or did he :eyes::eyes::eyes:

Was he shot? He was probably up to no good then.

Like a lot of men from that period he was a far right Catholic nationalist. Tons of IRA men from the WOI went that way, whether they continued IRA or Free State supporters in the aftermath… Most Uber Catholics are far right and it shows how much of a grip Catholicism had on the nation.

It must have been tough growing up in a subway

This is it, and the more we mature as a nation, the harder it becomes to revere this kind of stuff. The basics are, South tried to shoot up a police station and he didn’t really achieve anything in doing this other than getting himself shot.

He got himself a sweet ass song though.
