MacDonagh, who collected much useful information regarding the Connacht septs of MacDonagh, considered that while the MacDonaghs of Thomond are undoubtedly a branch of the main Co. Sligo sept, those of Co. Galway are of different stock, viz., an offshoot of the O'Flahertys of Connemara.

MacDonagh’s is a VERSION of the poem, but very much his own poem, not simply a translation.
Macdonagh’s version, digressing as it does from the original, is, in some ways, the more ‘poetic’ version.
MacDonagh doesn’t make the reference to Troy in the first stanza, and he leaves out the reference to the poet’s name “And that's what's ahead of your brother Cathal” in the second.

Often viewed as the tragic young poet of the 1916 Easter Rising, the sensitive-looking Joseph Mary Plunkett was in fact a key figure who with his friend Thomas MacDonagh shaped the strategy and drew up the operational plans for the insurrection.
Plunkett met Thomas MacDonagh in 1910 when he set out to learn the Irish language in order to pass the matriculation requirements for the new National University of Ireland.
MacDonagh, who was then teaching at Patrick Pearse’s school at St. Enda’s, was suggested as a suitable tutor.

Michael O'Hanrahan (1877 - May 4, 1916) was an Irish rebel who took an active role in the Easter Rising.
He was second in command of Dublin's 3rd battalion under Commandant Thomas MacDonagh, though his role as such was usurped by the last minute addition of John MacBride to the battalion (as, one could argue, was MacDonagh's).
He fought at Jacob's Biscuit Factory, though the battalion saw little action throughout Easter week, as the British Army largely circumvented their position.

 The 1916 Poets Edited by Desmond Ryan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Actually, this is a really nice collection of the poems of Patrick Pearse, Joseph Plunkett and Thomas MacDonagh, the three ‘rebel poets’ of 1916.
There is an introduction by Desmond Ryan, who was one of Patrick Pearse’s pupils – taught by MacDonagh, as well, of course, who fought with them in 1916 and in the war of Independence and Civil War, and went on to be a respected academic with several books of his own.
Apart from the introduction there is no analysis of the poems, but in the case of Plunkett and MacDonagh’s work, which is very little known, that is no bad thing as it allows them to be seen in an unbiassed way.

 [minstrels] Lament for Thomas MacDonagh -- Francis Ledwidge
He felt bitterly let down when, in the middle of that war, in the aftermath of the Easter Rebellion in Dublin in 1916, the British authorities executed the leaders of this rebellion, one of whom was his friend, the poet Thomas MacDonagh.
Notwithstanding his disillusion, he returned to the Front and was killed himself at the age of 29 in the Battle of Ypres in Belgium.
I think that this is the poet’s hope that when things get better for his country that his executed friend will somehow become aware of this and know that his own death has not been in vain.
