What is recorded here
Thomas Ashe commanded men in the Easter Rising of 1916 and later died in a Dublin prison in September 1917 after a hunger strike and forcible feeding. He had taught children in Lusk, founded local Gaelic institutions, and carried Irish language and republican commitment from Kerry into the heart of the conflict. His memorial marks a young man who turned classroom discipline into political danger, then refused to leave that danger behind.
Thomas Ashe is recorded as a memorial in County Dublin. Its open map record supplies this location and any linked names or public references.
