John Devoy (1842-1928) – Fenian Rebel & Sponsor of the Easter Rising
There would probably have been no Easter Rising without John Devoy. Indeed, one could say that there might have been no Irish Free State without Devoy. Certainly two of Ireland’s most iconic leaders, Charles Stuart Parnell and Michael Collins, owed much of their success to the machinations of this extraordinary man, arguably the most influential Irish-American in history.
