Seán Keating, 1921.

STATEMENT BY MR. SEÁN MOYLAN, T.D.,

132 St. Lawrence Road, Clontarf, Dublin.

The genesis of this picture is in a visit of Albert

E. Wood to Cork in 1921. At that time, Albert Wood was

one of the leaders of the Irish bar and had been briefed by

Barry Sullivan, a solicitor in Mallow, to defend anumber

of men who were being courtmartialled in Cork for

theirparticipation in the attack and capture of Mallow Military

Barracks in 1920.

While Wood was in Cork, I was captured by the

British and brought to the Military Prison in Cork city.

While I was there, Sullivan, who knew me, brought Wood to

see me. Their intention was to persuade me to make and

defend a case before the courtmartial. I was not anxious

to do this, as all the charges to be brought against m at

the courtmartial were quite true, and I felt that any

defence might be regarded as an apology for my actions or

attitude, and would be detrimental to the general morale of

the I.R.A. As a result of the arguments and persuasion of

Sullivan and Wood, I agreed to put up a defence, given

certain conditions, and it fell out so. Wood, with his

background, was entirely unfamiliar with the characters of

the men, in whose regard he had come to Cork, and he was

exceptionally impressed by their entire sincerity and their

complete disregard for consequences.

I was amazed then, and it still seems strange to me

to-day, when Wood told me the fighting was almost over.I

suggested to him that, in the period he specified, it would

-2-

be impossible for us to beat the British, and, knowing the

minds of my comrades, I felt that this was to be a fight to

a finish. His prophecy was corrct. Six Weeks Later We

had the Truce.

I came to Dublin to a meeting of Dáil Éireann On the

16th August, 1921. That night, I was invited to dinner at

the Gresham by Hugh Harold, a Mallow man engaged in busines

in Dublin and brother to one of those who were courtmartilled

for taking part in the attack on Mallow Barracks. One of

those who came to the table and had dinner with us was John

McLoughlin of Donegal, afterwards a Senator and whom I had

known in Inishowen during the 1918 election. We sat for

some time at the table, and then Albert Wood came along and

the discussion continued. After some time, the name of

Tim Healy came up, and McLoughlin, who was a friend of

Healy, suggested that I should come with him to Chapelizod

to see Tim Healy. I consented to do so and, as we left,

wood said to me, "Don't go to see Tim Healy! You have

certain ideals, for which you fought, and Healy is the

centre of an intrigue which, if successful, will dash the

hopes held by you and by your comrades". I did not go to

see Tim Healy.

A few days later, Wood took me to see the National

Gallery. He was a great lover of pictures and sculpture,

and I, who bad never been in the National Gallery before,

spent, under his guidance, a most pleasurable and educative

afternoon. On the following day, he said to me, "I would

like to have a picture of you and would be glad if you

would permit yourself to be painted by Seán Keating in the

clothes you wore in the dock in Cork". I agreed, and

Keating tackled the job in the following week.

Wood was a constant visitor to the studio while the

work was in progress. Among the variousdiscussions

we

had, Wood put forward the idea that it would be

some1hing

of

historic value to make a picture of a group. of men who bad

been concerned in the fighting. I arranged the matter and

brought a dozen men to Dublin.

Keating has described in his note somethingof

the

difficulties encountered in getting the thing under way. He

made a number of preliminary sketches, and these were later

developed into pictures. They were exhibited in the Academy

in 1921 and sold to various people. The picture now in Árus

Uachtarain was really only a preliminary sketch. The

picture finally produced was bought by the Cork Corporation

and is now in the Cork Gallery.

The picture in Árus an Uachtarain was, for many years,

in an outhouse at Keating's premises at Rathfarnham. He

Offered it to me on several occasions, but I feltit was too

valuable a gift to accept. When, eventually, some years

ago, Mr. McDunphy discussed with me the project of the

col1ection of certain historical matter, in Árus anUachtarain,

I remembered this picture and suggested that it might be

examined and, if considered suitable for thepurpose, should

be acquired. This was done.

As I remember Keating's letter, it seems to me that he

thinks that the men, who formed the subject of the picture,

were badly treated or forgotten. It is true that they are

men whose lives have consisted since of hard effort and that

some of them had to leave the country to make a living, but I

don't think that any of them would be grateful toKeating for

his sympathy. Revolutionaries, by their very mentality, are

precluded from living comfortable lives. Soft living would

make them uncomfortable, and it is my opinion that, from the

day of the inception of the Volunteer movement until now,

-4-

there have been no happier lives in Ireland than the lives

of those men. They can look back to a great adventure

successfully pursued, their characters and brains developed

under pressure of adverse circumstances, and they have had,

in my opinion, a tremendous advantage in life over those who

accepted comfort and security as against effort on behalf of

their nation.

Keating makes one mistake in his letter. He talks

of these men as members of a West-Cork Column. Theywere

North Cork men. Practically all of them were

Duha1low

men.

I have an idea that Keating, with his

sensitive,artistic mind, was slightly afraid of them. He took a

particular fancy to one man among them, Roger Kiely, a

schoolteacher. Strangely enough, this man, while a

Volunteer, was not a fighting man in the sense that the

others were End perhaps he was different from theothers,

on

whom the stress of combat and suffering had laid rather

harsh hands. We say, here in Ireland, that breeding goes a

long way, and that is true of these men. Theyall

came of

families in which there was a tradition of resistance to

British rule in Ireland.

Denis Mullane's father was a Fenian. An uncle of

his was a Fenian organiser. History and tradition have

queer interminglings and unexpected effects. In Mullane's

farm at Freemount, Co. Cork, there are four graves the

graves of four of O'Sullivan Bere's soldiers, killed at, a

fort near there during his march to Leitrim. WhoKnows

what an effect the story of O'Sullivan Bere's march mighthave had on a young mind?

Michael O'Sullivan was one of the most outstandingfighters in all Cork. Nervous, gentle and

imaginative, any

-5-

fears he might have had at the beginning, he had completely

crushed until he had developed into the mostfearless

fighter I knew. His father was a Captain of Moonlighters.

Among the Moonlighters, there were many men whose characters

were not very estimable. It is a recurrent phenomenon in

all such movements that evil men take advantage of

disturbance. O'sullivan's father was a gentle, unselfish

type, entirely sincere, in his own time and by the only

methods then possible, in his efforts to secure a reducing

of British strength in Ireland.

James Riordan was a big, hefty man, and was concerned

in all the fighting in North Cork. The Riordan's came

originally from the North as Gallowglasses, and Riordan

displayed all the fighting capacities of his forbears. Yet,

he was a gentle, disciplined man, fierce only when the

fighting was to be done.

Dan Brown was a good soldier. Always he seems to me

to have the grimmest face of all those in the picture.

Perhaps this is due to the fact that he was a clerical

student, destined to be a parish priest and trained to

develop the characteristics of a parish priest in his early

days.

James Cashman was very young, only a boy, a very fine

athlete and a most enthusiastic Volunteer. He is a first-cousin

of my wife. I am glad to say that all the

aggressiveness has been confined to the male members of the

family.

John Jones was then seventeen and had had his first

fight at sixteen. He went to Oregon, U.S.A., after the

Civil War, and is now farming in Cork

The picture in Árus an Uachtarain was, as I have said,

-6-

only a preliminary sketch. One reason why I was not

included in the final picture was because it was believed

at the time that the Truce was transient, that the fighting

would be resumed and that, under such circumstances, it was

unwise that the pictures and photographs of leaders should

be available to the British. It seems a poor reason now,

but that was the only reason.

Secretary,Bureau of Military History.

1. In September, 1944, the then President Of Ireland, Dr. Douglas

Hyde, acquired for the national. collection established by him in

Áras anUachtaráin, a large by Seán Keating, R.H.A., of

a group of eight members of the I.R.A., which now hangs in the

Áras, under the title "An I.R.A. Flying Column, 1920".

2. The picture was painted from life in the autumn of 1921

during the Anglo-Irish Treaty, the models being actual members

of the I.R.A. One of them was Seán then leader of a

flying column in Co. Cork, the others being members his unit,

so that the picture, which embodies their portraits, is in

essence a historical document.

3. I enclose, the following documents which are

(a) Copy of my letter to Mr Keatingdated 28th Dec. 1950,

(b) Mr Keating's Reply dated 3rd January, 1951,

(c) Copy Of My letter to Mr Keating dated 8th Jan 1951,

(g) copy of myletter to Mr Seán Moylan dated 23rd Feb.' 51

(h) Mr Moylan's reply dated 28th February, 1951.

4. The story of the painting of the picture is contained in

Mr Keating's two letters of 3rd and 22nd January, 1951 as

corrected by Mr letter of the 28th February, the

originals of which are, as indicated above, enclosed.

5. In addition to this correspondence I also send you herewith

(i) A photograph of the Painting.

(ii) Asketch diagram of the Picture showing theplacinge and identities of the men representedin it prepared under the guidance of and

approved and certified by Mr seán Moylan, whohimself is portrayed in the picture, and

(iii) A copy of the catalogue of the NationalCollection in the Áras referred to in paragraph1, which was prepared by me for the inaugurationof the collection in 1944.

The number of the preime an the catalogueis 138.

6. It seems to me that the enclosed correspondence, in

conjunction with the picture itself which hangs in the Áras,

constitutes a documentation of the period which might

appropriately find a place in the archives of theBuueau,

and

I am authorised by the President to send it to you for that

purpose. The consent of Mr Keating in respect ofhi

own

letters is embodied in his letter of the 15th January, 1951.

Dear Mr Keating,

Your Painting, of "The Flying Column in which

Mr Seán Moylan appears, is a subject of perennial

interest to visitors, to the Áras.

I would like very much to be able to tell

of the facts.

I would be grateful if you will set them down

briefly for me, not only as a matter of present

interest but of historical record.

Dear Mr McDunphy,You ask me to reconstruct something that happened

nearly 29 years ago the painting of the West Cork FlyingColumn.

When Sean Moylan was on trial for his life, thelate Albert Wood, K.C. who defended him, was impressed by himand asked me to paint a portrait of him as he appeared in thedock. While I was painting, Sean sometimes talked and I learnedsomething of the background of himself and his Boys in West Cork,and the idea came to me that such men and their doings were theraw material of the History, Art and Literature that we wou1d beso proud of in retrospect.

When I had finished Moylan's portrait I told himthat I would like to paint the Column and before leaving me hepromised to fix it. One day, months later, I was working in myroom in the School of Art (avery British Institution) when theporter rushed in breathless and pop-eyed to say "The hall isfull of men with guns and they're looking for you."

Never before or since have I so impressed a porteras when I answered NONCHALANTLY "ALL right, bring them up".

They Trooped in, dressed and armed very much as theymust have been on many an ambush, Jim Riordan, Johnnie BrownRoger Kiely and the rest (if you send me a print of the picture I'll

give you a key to them, though Sean Moylan could do it better)Roger Kiely was about the best and finest man I

ever knew a few years ago I went to look for him in countyCork, I found him ma poor school-teacher in a poor little schoolnear Kanturk. I asked him about the others and found that death,poverty and America had claimed them the Unknown Soldiers.

That is all the information I can give you, thoughI will permit myself some comments. Revolutionaries shouldremember that they are making history, and that history belongs toposterity and should be documented in paint as well as print.

If the British in their successive wars always commissioned theirbest artists, at high salaries, to immortalize the men and eventswhich they considered important, it is a pity that we who despisethem culturally should have failed to record the birth of a nation.I tried very hard to be allowed to do it gratis, in spite of theindifference of our own people and the hostility of the BritishAfter the treaty made an official application to be secondedtemporarily from teaching in the School of Art in order to painta full-time series of pictures of the people and events of thoseyears the work to be the property of the Department of Educationwhich employed me. My application was turned down, and in the officeof the Department I was told that'the sooner all those things areforgotten the better". My pay at the time was £2 a week and I could

not afford to give it up as I had to eat or so I thought.Post treaty political bitterness may have been the

reason whey my appeal was refused but politics always ephemeraland often contemptible should not be allowed to rob posterity.

Dear Seán,

I am very grateful to you for your very interesting letterof the 3rd instant regarding the history of the painting ofthe West Cork Flying Column. I am placing it on record.

Thanks very much for your offer to make a key.As a matter of fact we have one already. It was madeby Mr Moylan shortly after the painting arrived hereand adds greatly to its historic value.

I wonder if you would have any objection to mysending your letter to the Bureau of Military History,Westland Row, of which I am Director, for inclusion inthe archives. It would be a noteworthy addition to thehistoric material there.

I am sending a copy to the Secretary to theGovernment in connection with your comments in the lasttwo paragraphs.

Dear Seán,

Thanks for your letter of the 15th instant regarding

your picture. I am having your letter of 3rd instant placed

in the archives of the Bureau of Military History.

There is one point, however, on which my information

is very vague. You have given a clear story of the painting

of the picture. But there is more. For some reason it was

left unfinished and another one from which seán Moylan Was

omitted painted by you Instead; the original being put aside

it your studio until it was so to speak brought to light

again by seán Moylan himself in 1944, when it was purchased

by the President, Dr. Douglas Hyde.

I would like to have that chapter of the story told

by yourself, so that the history of the Picture, to be

included in the archives of the Bureau may be complete.

I am sorry to give you all this trouble, but the

story of the picture is part of the history of the time and

I would like to have it in all its fullness.

Yours sincerely,

M. McDunphy.

If you could add something to the offset thatthe man were all members of your Column, and fought

FOREWORD

In January 1944, the President,Dr. Douglas Hyde, decidedtoassembleat the officialPresidentialresidencea small collectionofportraitsand picturesof historicalevents,illustrative of the struggleof Ireland throughoutthe centuriesto assertits nationhoodand theright of its peopleto developtheir ownculture.

Priorto that datea smallnumberofpicturesandobjectsofsculpturehad been acquired through the generosityof individuals. Theseservedasa nucleus,andfromthat smallbeginningthe collectiongrewsteadilyuntil at the presentdate, 1stApril, 1945,it consistsof some200 objects.

It is in no sensean art collection. Its primary andindeedits sole.object is to serveas a pictorial recordof Irish history, and purelyartistic considerations,while they have been honouredwhereverpossible,havebeensubordinatedto that centralpurpose. It includespaintings,engravings,etchings,lithographs,woodcuts,photogravures,photographs,photostatsandprints in colourandin black andwhite,rangingin sizefroma fewinchestomanyfeetin length,whilesculptureis representedby figuresand bustsin bronze,marble and plaster.Someare originals,somearecopies; someareintrinsicallyvaluable,someare important only for what they represent. Somehave beenpresentedto the President,someareonloanfromStateandMunicipal.Institutions, but the greater number have been provided by thePresident himself. In addition, framing or re-framing has beencarriedout wherevernecessary.

The catalogueis set out in numericalorder,without referencetoperiodor subject,but no difficultyshouldbe experiencedin locatingindividualpictures,etc., as the bulk of the collectionis on displayin the gallery, arrangedin historicsequence.The remainder,con-sisting

of the larger paintingsand someof the objectsof sculpture,are in the vestibuleor in oneof the two State Roomsleadingto theGallery.

In a fewcasesthe materialavailablein respectof certainhistorical

phasesor events,thoughby nomeanscomplete,is sufficientto justifyits classificationunderspecificheadings,e.g.,

The Williamite Wars 1689The Irish Volunteers 177Grattan'sParliament 1782-1800The United Irishmen 1791-1803

Young Ireland 1841-1848The Fenians 1858The Rising of Easter Week 1916

In additionto a generalindexto the collectionasa whole,thereareseparateindexesto the objectscontainedin thesegroups.

I wish to acknowledgethe valuable assistancegiven in thecompilationof the catalogueby MissRosalindM. Elmes.
