Joseph Howley, from Oranmore, County Galway, was a member of the Irish Volunteers. He mobilized and led a combined contingent of 106 Volunteers from Oranmore to attack the Oranmore barracks on the Tuesday morning of the 1916 Easter Rising. [1] The company failed to capture the barracks, and joined those of Liam Mellows.[2] According to the reports, Howley was the revenue collector-general.[3]
Howley was shot dead by the R.I.C at the Broadstone Railway Station in Dublin, Ireland, on 4 December 1920.[4] A special Intelligence Unit attached to the RIC known as the Cairo Gang was responsible.[5]
A memorial statue to him was erected in 1947 in Howley Court in Oranmore;[6] its inscription reads:
Comdt. Joseph Howley. He led his volunteers in Easter week 1916 and was murdered by English agents at the Broadstone Dublin 1920.
Erected in 1947 by his old comrades of 1916 - 1920.[7]
