Maggie O'Toole

Maggie O'Toole was a young Irish revolutionary who, at just 14 years old, became a member of Cumann na mBan during the Irish Civil War. She was arrested for her involvement in passing messages to the IRA and was interned in Kilmainham Gaol, where she left her mark on the walls, reflecting her youthful spirit and commitment to the cause. Her story has been rediscovered by her granddaughter, who has dedicated her research to uncovering the vital roles women like Maggie played in Ireland's fight for independence and their subsequent marginalization in the new republic.
