Jim Kirwan
Jim Kirwan died in the Irish War of Independence in January 1921.
Kirwan was a native of Balliastack, Corofin, County Galway. He was working in a field with a horse and cart, near his father.
Upon hearing some shots, Kirwan's father ran to the site to find a large number of uniformed men around his son's body. They informed him that they had shot Jim in the act of running away, a short time after an ambush at Kilroe and that the victim was thought to resemble a participant in the ambush.
