What did AC do?
[edit]This is a bad page as the sources are dead. The subject's notability was that he attended meetings and was sent to prison. He was then "chief of staff" of a private army that was inactive. If he is notable today as a doctor, could we have some detail on that. Otherwise this should be deleted.78.19.200.247 (talk) 09:50, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
- I agree with you that it is a "bad page". It would not be difficult to improve it, however. Here are some sources:
- Decoding the IRA – six pages altogether
- The IRA (Tim Pat Coogan) – three pages altogether
- De Valera: Long Fellow, Long Shadow (also Tim Pat)
- The IRA Bombing Campaign Against Britain, 1939-1940 – the IRA's connection with Nazi Germany
- The secret IRA–Soviet agreement, 1925, History Ireland
- The War of Independence in Kerry, The Irish Story – details of his role in 1919–21
- 1919 – The first assassination authorised by Michael Collins, Stair na hÉireann – member of The Squad
- A Splendid Resistance - The Life of IRA Chief of Staff, Dr. Andy Cooney – an actual book
- And a couple of somewhat less reliable sources:
- Andy Cooney, Dublin-fusiliers.com – involvement in Bloody Sunday
- Dr. Andy Cooney (1897 – 1968), Fenian Graves – short biography
- So I think his notability is clear, and not as a doctor. I have added archive links to the refs, so they are no longer dead. I am more or less retired at the moment, so I won't be doing any editing, but I think I've given you enough source material to write a fairly decent article. Good luck!
