• Tessie O’Connell: Born in 1900 in Caherdaniel, County Kerry, Tessie was one of the 11 children of John and Marianne O’Connell (née O’Sullivan). Her sister, Kathleen, had worked for the Gaelic League, the Irish Republican Brotherhood, and was in close contact with those preparing for the Rising in 1916. Kathleen had left for America in 1904 to train as a secretary and while there she joined Cumann na mBan. Kathleen influenced her younger sister, Tessie, on a visit home in 1915. In 1922, Tessie came to Dublin to live with Kathleen and got a job in Suffolk Street. Following the split over the Treaty, she was on the anti-treaty side. She was held in 1922 and 1923 in Mountjoy Jail, Kilmainham Gaol and the North Dublin Union. After her release, she returned to live in Kerry and then went to live in Chicago for a number of years, before returning to live in Dublin, where she remained for the rest of her life. She never married or had children.
