- More about Spike Island's Republican Prisoners, 1921
During the Irish War of Independence, Spike Island in County Cork was the largest British-military-run prison for Republican prisoners and internees, housing almost 1,400 men from Munster and south Leinster. Tom ONeill has compiled an outstanding record of these men, using primary-source material from Irish Military Archives, British Army records, and prisoner and internee autograph books. This book provides details of arrests, charges, trials, convictions, sentences, and transfers of the Republicans held on the island, including escapes, hunger strikes, riots, and the fatal shooting of two internees by sentries. Spike Island is now a world-class tourist attraction.

In 1921, during the Irish War of Independence, Spike Island in County Cork held a significant place as the largest British-military-run prison for Republican prisoners and internees within the Martial Law area. It accommodated nearly 1,400 men hailing from Munster and south Leinster. Tom ONeill has painstakingly compiled an exceptional record of these men, drawing upon primary-source material from the Irish Military Archives, British Army records, and prisoner and internee autograph books. This comprehensive book offers detailed accounts of arrests, charges, trials, convictions, sentences, and transfers of the Republicans held on Spike Island.
Spanning from the establishment of the military prison in 1921 to the various events that unfolded there, including escapes, hunger strikes, riots, and the tragic shooting by sentries of two internees, Spike Island's Republican Prisoners, 1921 stands as the first comprehensive history of individuals and events on the island during the Irish War of Independence.
Today, Spike Island has transformed into a world-class tourist attraction, offering visitors a unique and immersive experience into its rich history. The island's rugged terrain, stunning coastal views, and historical significance make it a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and travelers alike.
