Kiltyclogher.He was the eighth of ten children
born to Daniel and Mary MacDermott.The family
home was small thathced cottage in the townland
of Laughty Barr,Also known locally as Scregg.

3. Following his release in September 1915, he joined the
secret Military Committee of the IRB, which was
responsible for planning the rising. Indeed Mac
Diarmada and Clarke were the people most
responsible for it.
Due to his disability, Mac Diarmada took little part in
the fighting of Easter week, but was stationed at the
headquarters in the General Post Office. Following
the surrender, he nearly escaped execution by
blending in with the large body of prisoners. He was
eventually recognised by Daniel Hoey of G Division.
Following a court-martial on 9 May, Mac Diarmada
was executed by firing squad on 12 May at the age of
33.

4. In order to prevent the further slaughter of
Dublin citizens, and in the hope of saving the
lives of our followers now surrounded and
hopelessly outnumbered, the members of the
Provisional Government present at Headquarters
have agreed to an unconditional surrender, and
the Commandants of the various districts in the
City and country will order their commands to
lay down arms.

men and said to them that they would probably
only get a few years in prison as the British would
only shoot the Leaders.

Richmond Barracks. He was then transferred to
Kilmainham Jail where he received his sentence of
