JohnDevoy and JudgeDaniel Cohalanwere leading figures in the Friends of Irish Freedom organisation. The
aim of the organisationwas to foster ‘anymovement that will tend to bring about the National Independence
of Ireland’. DiarmuidLynch (1878-1950) was born at Tracton, CountyCork, and spentmuch of his early life in
America. Through his membership of the IRB he had come into contact with JohnDevoy. He was appointed
National Secretary of the F.O.I.F. at the Second IrishRace Convention inMay 1918. Thanks, in no small part,
to Lynch’s organisational abilitymembership of the F.O.I.F. rapidly rose to 50,000, a three-fold increase in six
months.
