Frank Thornton: A Drogheda Man In The Thick Of The Action
Old Drogheda Society
As part of its commemoration for the 1916 Easter Rising the Old Drogheda Society is hosting the first of two lunchtime lectures in the Drogheda Tourist Office.
You are invited to listen to Liam Reilly on Tuesday April 26th at 1.05pm in the Tholsel (duration 30 minutes). Liam will speak on:
Frank Thornton: A Drogheda Man In The Thick Of The Action
Frank Thornton, was one of three brothers from Peter Street who fought in the Rising.
He was in charge of the company that occupied the Imperial Hotel/Clerys building opposite the GPO.
He was interned in Frongoch. But as the British had mistakenly recorded him as Frank Drennan, when he returned to Ireland, they had no record of him.
He later worked as Deputy Assistant Director of Intelligence for Michael Collins.
The lecture is free and all are welcome.

Grangebellew Volunteers
Old Drogheda Society
Annagassan Historical Society’s next
illustrated lecture is at 8pm tomorrow, Wednesday 13th April in St. Finian’s
National School, Dillonstown.
After a frustrating march to Slane in
bad weather and MacNeill’s countermanding order, eleven of the Grangebellew
Volunteers occupied the Bellew Memorial Tower from Easter Monday 1916 to the
following Sunday April 30th.
Subsequently, six of the volunteers
were arrested and imprisoned in Frongoch in Wales. One, Michael Reynolds,
was court-martialled and imprisoned in Lewes in East Sussex. Bryan Rogers talk will cover these events, the volunteers
formation, events leading up to the Rising and a Togher lady’s eye-witness
account of the outbreak of fighting in Dublin. Places are limited so
please come early.
Entrance fee is €5 and includes tea/coffee
afterwards.
