I do not post this thread in order to cause any kind of political controversy nor is it because I have any preconceived ideas about rebels and rebellions. I would like just to know if the IRA leader in Belfast in 1920s named Roger McCorley was , in fact, the descendant of the Roddy McCorley being discussed in this thread ? I believe that Roger subsequently joined the Free State Army with a commission after the signing of the Anglo -Irish Treaty Agreement ? Can anyone verify or otherwise ?
