A committee which included Countess Markievicz and Bulmer Hobson had called the meeting in order to recruit boys in Dublin to a new nationalist body. The hundred or so boys who attended determined to create an organisation which would offer a suitable alternative to the growing Baden-Powell 'Boy Scout' movement. What developed over the next fourteen years was a veritable boy's army which played a crucial role in the Irish Revolution. Lawlor's book tells the history of the group, charting its growth and development from 1909 to 1923 - from that first meeting of 100 to a national organisation with over 30,000 members spread throughout Ireland's 32 counties, detailing the launch and growth of the Irish Volunteers; Howth and Kilcoole gun running operations; involvement in the 1916 Rising; participation in the 'Tan War'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e english\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54707445399879,"sku":"8B-UAGI-MBEY","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/41S9UMbcaNL_2fe18653-87ae-4d7f-ad17-00363bb3ee6b.jpg?v=1787299273","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/na-fianna-eireann-and-the-irish-revolution-1909-to-1923-8b-uagi-mbey","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
