Does anyone happen to know who was shot in Killester (Dublin) during the war of Independence? There is a gravestone on the side of the road just outside the cemetery and the inscription says something about the IRA.

I have been researching the ex-servicemen's houses in Killester and found this which might be him. It refers to the shooting of an 18 year old Michael O'Brien in Sep 1921. Hope the link works

or possibly Michael Neville, found shot dead in Killester Cemetery Sept 1922. From Co Clare, he was with the Dublin City Brigade and believed killed in Portobello Barracks

The memorial on the wall of the old Killester Graveyard relates to Michael Neville of Lisdoonvarna, County Clare who was an anti treaty supporter and was killed in September 1922.

He was a barman in Mooneys Pub on Eden Quay and was taken from there by three men This was supposedly connected to a bomb attack on Eden Quay on th 22nd September 1922 in which James Kennedy from Dublin, a Free State Soldier was killed. He was travelling in the back of a vehicle along Eden Quay with other soldiers when a bomb was thrown from one of the roofs along Eden Quay.
