George Plant
George Plant (1904–1942) was an IRA member who was executed by the Irish Government in 1942.
== Early life and IRA service ==
George Plant was born into a protestant Church of Ireland farming family in Fethard, the second eldest child and son in a family of six children. One Sunday in 1916 George and his older brother Jimmy were arrested by the RIC after being seen speaking to two well known Republicans, Seán Hayes and Dan Breen. In custody the two brothers were beaten and mistreated; they both developed a hatred of the RIC. George served with the Irish Republican Army during the Irish War of Independence and with the Anti-Treaty IRA in the Irish civil war.
In 1923 George and his brother Jimmy left Ireland for Canada and the United States but continued as active IRA members. In 1929 they returned to Ireland and carried out a bank raid in Tipperary town on behalf of the IRA. They were arrested two days later at the family farm and subsequently sentenced to 7 years in prison. They were released in a general amnesty after Fianna Fáil and Éamon de Valera election victory in 1932. George was a strong supporter of Seán Russell. In 1939 following the outbreak of World War II, known in Ireland as The Emergency, Éamon de Valera was determined to maintain Irish neutrality and was not going to allow the IRA to jeopardize this. The IRA links with Germany and campaign in Britain were severely straining Anglo-Irish relations so emergency legislation was introduced.
