Joseph McGrath and Thomas Cullen Exhibition Opens at dlr LexIcon

An Cathaoirleach, Cllr Jim Gildea, Dún Laoghaire‑Rathdown County Council, has officially launched a new exhibition at dlr LexIcon, exploring the lives and legacy of Joseph McGrath (1888–1966) and Thomas Cullen (1891–1926). The exhibition examines the pivotal roles both men played during the revolutionary period and the establishment of the Irish Free State between 1916 and 1924. Joseph McGrath was primarily active as a politician, while Thomas Cullen was a close associate of Michael Collins and a member of his security team, the Squad. Both men were members of the Anglo‑Irish Treaty Delegation and, in 1922, supported the newly formed Government, McGrath as a politician and Cullen as a member of the National Army.
