statements were collected by Dungarvan man Phil O' Donnell, who was employed in
the 1950's by the Bureau of Military History to collect the statements and
interviews from Cork Republicans. O’ Donnell was interned on Spike Island in 1921
and there is a collection of documents [including the roll book containing the
names of over 700 Republican prisoners] also on display the documents show how
O’Donnell complied his notes and what the completed interview statements looked
like.
