member of the British Parliament. He was the cleverest and most national
of O'Connell's children.

Ireland, and sat for a brief period in the British Parliament as
Parnellite member for Meath.
O'DONNELL, JOHN.--A Limerick solicitor and an ardent Young Irelander.
When Richard O'Gorman came to Limerick to urge the people to arms,
O'Donnell travelled through the county with him as his aide-de-camp. On
the news of the outbreak in Tipperary, O'Donnell, Doyle and Daniel
Harnett raised the country around Abbeyfeale, cut off the mails and
pitched an insurgent camp outside the town where the Abbeyfeale men
waited for O'Gorman, who was elsewhere in the county, to take command.
