Liam Lynch (1893-1923) was an Irish republican military leader. He served as Chief of Staff of the Irish Republican Army between March 1922-April 1923. He was born at Barnagurraha and attended Anglesboro National School. A leading military commander in the War of Independence, he opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty on the grounds that it disestablished the Irish Republic proclaimed in 1916. He assumed the position of Chief of Staff of the anti-Treaty IRA, known as the 'Irregulars.' He was killed in a skirmish with Free State forces in the Knockmealdown Mountains, County Tipperary, on 10 April 1923, aged 29.[2]
