Fr Michael O'Flanagan Rebel Priest

Directed and edited by Marcus Howard. Fr Michael O'Flanagan was involved in every aspect of the Irish revolutionary period from officiating at O’Donovan Rossa’s funeral to supporting his people’s fight for turf cutting rights, who rewarded him by boarding up the local church when he was removed from the parish. He helped to organize the Irish struggle after the execution of the 1916 leaders and was Vice President and Acting President of Sinn Fein. He was a tireless fundraiser in America and Australia for the Irish cause, was a leading light in the anti Conscription crisis against WW1 and spoke out during The Spanish Civil War. He was also President of Sinn Fein from 1933-35 before he was expelled. An outspoken rebel who inspires to this day as witnessed by his relative Luke Ming Flanagan and featuring historians and the people of Cliffoney including the traditional Fr Michael O’Flanagan monthly session. Filmed in Sligo and Strasbourg, France. Thanks to Martin Byrne, Seamus Moore and Diarmuid Hayes. Facebook: Easter Rising Stories
