An introduction to Thomas McDonagh

A native of Tipperary, born in 1878, McDonagh spent the early part of his career as a teacher. He moved to Dublin to study, and was the first teacher on the staff at St. Enda’s, the school he helped to found with Patrick Pearse.

MacDonagh was well versed in literature, his enthusiasm and erudition earning him a position in the English department at University College Dublin. His play ‘When the Dawn is Come’ was produced at the Abbey theatre. He was appointed director of training for the Irish Volunteers in 1914, later joining the I. R. B. MacDonagh was appointed to the I. R. B. military committee in 1916. He was commander of the Second Battalion of Volunteers that occupied Jacob’s biscuit factory and surrounding houses during the Rising. He was executed on 3 May 1916.
