Stephen Behan
Stephen (christened Francis) Behan (born 26 December 1891) was an Irish republican who was father of writers Brendan, Brian and Dominic Behan.
Behan was born in 26 December 1891 to James Behan, a foreman house-painter, and his wife Christina (née Corr; she married secondly Patrick English). They lived in a house in Russell Street on the Northside of Dublin which belonged to Christina, who owned a number of properties in the area. There is no evidence that he entered the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) however there is an oral history which suggest he spent less than six months as a brother-novice at St Stanislaus College, Tullabeg, Rahan, county Offaly. Later he joined the Irish Republican Army and became one of Michael Collins' Twelve Apostles, responsible for assassinating British Army officers during the Anglo-Irish War. After the Free State was created, all government workers (teachers included) were required to take an oath of allegiance to the British Crown. Behan's refusal to take such an oath of loyalty resulted in his exclusion from the teaching profession for which he had trained and ultimately a life of comparative hardship.
Behan became a painter and decorator, and married Kathleen Kearney in 1922. Kathleen's Brother Peadar Kearney was a famous song writer and poet (famous for writing the Irish National Anthem 'A Soldier's Song' and 'The Foggy Dew'). Stephen Behan read classic English writers to his children in the evenings before bedtime; Kathleen took their children on literary tours of the city, thus were the seeds of creativity nurtured.
He was the subject of ''This Is Your Life'' in December 1962 when he was surprised by Eamonn Andrews in the audience of Dublin’s RTÉ Studios.
