This is my last name! My family still live in Carna, Connemara, Co Galway, my Dad is buried on Mweenish Island where we have been buried since the 1400s. We were raised to be very proud of our name and our family!❤(Cadhla Ní Chonghaile, my Dad was Daniel Ó Conghaile)

Both of my parents were born in Ireland. I have visited Ireland five different times. It’s a beautiful place. I’m only 34 I have four young children and I really hope to bring them there soon so they can visit their relatives. I have so many of them over there LOL

Thank you. James Connolly loved his country. Unfortunately he believed independence could only be realized through Socialism.
He ended life well nonetheless. He went to confession and died in our holy religion. To his credit he had been careful how the uprising was planned so that the patriots would evade execution if it failed.
