O'CONNELL, DANIEL (1775-1847).--Successor to John Keogh in the leadership of the Irish Catholics, and although his actual achievements were not so much greater than those of Keogh and Sweetman, their brilliancy threw the fame of his predecessors into the shade, where it still rests. O'CONNELL, MAURICE (1802-53).--Eldest son of Daniel O'Connell, and a member of the British Parliament. He was the cleverest and most national of O'Connell's children.

O'CONOR DON, THE (1794-1847).--Repeal M.P. for Roscommon. He deserted to the Liberals, and was made a Lord of the Treasury. O'DEA, PATRICK.--The Young Ireland leader in Rathkeale, Co. Limerick. O'DOHERTY, KEVIN IZOD (1823-1895).--Son of a Dublin solicitor. After his release from transportation he settled in Australia and became prominent in its politics and medical science. In 1885 he returned temporarily to 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.
