National Army Soldier James Mahony
National Army Soldier James Mahony (aged 32) of 10 Albert Court, Grand Canal Street, Dublin (Bantry)
Date of incident: 9 April 1923
Sources: Death Certificate (Bantry District, Union of Bantry), 9 April 1923; CE, 12 April 1923; MSPC/3D79 (Military Archives); Keane (2017), 358, 422; http://www.irishmedals.ie/National-Army-Killed.php (accessed 2 Aug. 2017).
Note: ‘A motor lorry with National troops, when passing along by the Bantry Quay, got overturned near the deal yard. One of the men was so badly injured that he died subsequently. The others received a bad shaking and had had a narrow escape with their lives.’ See CE, 12 April 1923. The National soldier who died was Private James Mahony. The causes of death were a compound fracture of the skull and laceration of the brain. See Death Certificate (Bantry District, Union of Bantry), 9 April 1923.
James Mahony’s pension file confirms that he was the person killed in this motor accident at Bantry on 9 April 1923; it also mentions that Private Frank Quail and Lieutenant Hayes were injured in the same accident. His wife Margaret Mahony applied for and received a dependant’s allowance in consideration of her husband’s death. She claimed that James Mahony had joined the National Army on 10 August 1922, and that he had been receiving a pension from the British government for prior service in a military/police force. When Margaret Mahony later remarried in 1924, she was granted the usual remarriage gratuity of £45 10s. She also received a weekly allowance of 8s. 6d. for each of the two daughters she had as the wife of James Mahony. See MSPC/3D79 (Military Archives).
