What is recorded here

Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa turned a Cork shop into a weapon, founding the Phoenix National and Literary Society in 1856 to liberate Ireland by force of arms. He endured life imprisonment, elected parliament from a prison cell, and later directed dynamite strikes across Britain until an Englishwoman's failed assassination ended the campaign. His 1915 funeral in Dublin became a rallying point that helped launch the Easter Rising of 1916.
Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa is recorded as a memorial in County Cork. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
