 Sean Maceoin
Eventually released at Michael Collins’ insistence, MacEoin nominated Eamon de Valera for election as President by the Dáil.
An expectation that he might be an agreed candidate for the office in 1959, as a result of his not standing against O'Kelly in 1952, was disappointed by de Valera’s decision to quit parliamentary life.
MacEoin retired from public life after the 1965 general election and died on 7 July 1973.

Fine Gael TD General Sean MacEoin, who was also the party’s presidential nominee in 1945 and 1959, came to the Ministry of Justice with a past which Fine Gael honours.
When MacEoin was the leader of an IRA Flying Column in Longford in 1920 he had been responsible for killing up to two dozen of his fellow Roman Catholic Irishmen in the RIC.
Men like MacEoin shot and bombed British soldiers and RIC men, killed them where they could — on holiday, on leave, in bed with their wives, at their dinner tables, on patrol and in the barracks.

General MacEoin: Is the Minister aware that there are instances in this connection that are very close to the conduct of moneylenders—conduct that was complained of some time ago and for the prohibition of which it was necessary to bring in legislation?

General MacEoin: I accept what the Minister says, but at the same time that does not relieve the hardships from which people are now suffering, and I would like the Minister to consider some steps that might be taken to relieve these hardships.

 Irish Republican Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These men were able to issue orders and directives to IRA guerrilla units around the country and at times to send arms and organisers to specific areas.
However, because of the localised and irregular character of the war, they were only able to exert limited control over local IRA commanders such as Tom Barry, Liam Lynch in Cork and Sean McEoin in Longford.
For instance, the County Longford IRA under Sean MacEoin carried out a number of well planned ambushes and successfully defended the village of Ballinalee in a three hour gun battle against Black and Tan reprisals.
