The O'Rahilly
Michael Joseph O'Rahilly ((アイルランド語:Mícheál Seosamh Ó Rathaille) or ; (22 April 1875 –29 April 1916) known as The O'Rahilly, was an Irish republican and nationalist; he was a founding member of the Irish Volunteers in 1913 and served as Director of Arms. Despite opposing the action, he took part in the Easter Rising in Dublin and was killed in a charge on a British machine gun post covering the retreat from the GPO during the fighting.
==Early life==
Born in Ballylongford, County Kerry, O'Rahilly was educated in Clongowes Wood College (1890-3).〔(Humphrys Family Tree )〕 As an adult, he became a republican and a language enthusiast. He joined the Gaelic League and became a member of ''An Coiste Gnotha'', its governing body. He was well travelled, spending at least a decade in the United States and in Europe before settling in Dublin.
O'Rahilly was a founding member of the Irish Volunteers in 1913, who organized to work for Irish independence and resist the proposed Home Rule; he served as the IV Director of Arms. He personally directed the first major arming of the Irish Volunteers, the landing of 900 Mausers at the Howth gun-running on 26 July 1914.
O'Rahilly was a wealthy man; the ''Weekly Irish Times'' reported after the Easter Rising that he "enjoyed a private income of £900" per annum, plenty of which went to "the cause he espoused".
