These witness 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.
