Michael O'Hanrahan
Michael O'Hanrahan (
1877 -
May 4,
1916) was an
Irish rebel who took an active role in the
Easter Rising. He was second in command of
Dublin's 3rd battalion under Commandant
Thomas MacDonagh, though his role as such was usurped by the last minute addition of
John MacBride to the battalion (as, one could argue, was MacDonagh's). He fought at Jacob's Biscuit Factory, though the battalion saw little action throughout
Easter week, as the
British Army largely circumvented their position.
O'Hanrahan was
executed by firing squad on May 4, 1916.
