Robert Briscoe is a  name that outside of Ireland will be one few recognize. Members of the Irish and Jewish community in the US who are elderly may be familiar with it. In Ireland, people will remember his son Ben Briscoe who like Robert was the Lord Mayor of Dublin.

However, as a courier for arms, he played a major role in the Irish War of Independence which is often overlooked. The links below represent articles I have used:
