MICHAEL MALLIN

Michael Mallin was born in Dublin in 1874. Having spent some years in the British Army in India he returned to Ireland and became a member of the socialist Irish Citizen Army. During the 1916 Easter Rising he was commandant of the Citizen Army at St. Stephen's Green where Countess Markievicz was his second-in-command. For his role in the Rising he was court-martialled and executed by firing squad at Kilmainham Jail on May 8, 1916. He is buried in Arbour Hill Cemetery. In 1966 the railway station at Dun Laoghaire was renamed Michael Mallin station. The plaque commemorating Mallin is at the entrance to what now is Brasserie na Mara and faces the Queen Victoria fountain.
