We remember #KevinBarry, who was born #OTD in 1902, at 8 Fleet Street, Dublin.
He spent his childhood between Dublin and his ancestral home in Tombeagh, Co. Carlow.
On 1 November 1920 he became the youngest to be executed by court martial during the War of Independence.
Discover Carlow
This is County Carlow, the hidden Ireland, a green Ireland of country roads and winding lanes, of towpaths and waterways, of mountain trails and forest tracks which lead the visitor through a hinterland of neat friendly villages and well-ordered small towns to ancient monastic sites and archaeological wonders from another age.
Carlow Tours App
This app with many tours of Carlow town and county was developed jointly by Carlow County Council and Carlow Tourism.
