I’m looking for information about Captain James (Jimmy) Murray and his brother Michael, both from Dun Laoghaire. Both served in the IRA locally, James Murray was associated with The Squad. Both took the pro-Treaty side during the Civil War, Jimmy was in the CID, Michael in the National Army. Jimmy was convicted of the murder of Cpl. Bergin in the Curragh at the end of the Civil War and died in prison a couple of years later. I can be contacted at mckennam@gmail.com, any information about them would be gratefully received.
