May Gahan Imperial Hotel , Born Mary Gahan 22 Feb 1900 in Dublin Ireland, daughter of School teacher Robert Gahan and his wife Mary Murray.

She was a member of Cumann na mBan, the Irish republican women’s paramilitary organisation formed in Dublin on 2 April 1914 as an auxiliary of the Irish Volunteers.

She was in the General Post office at the start of the 1916 Easter Rising. May was imprisoned in Kilmainham after the rising.

She married John/Shaun O’Carroll from Silvemount Tipperary 6 May 6 1917 at St. Agatha’s Catholic Church, Dublin, Eire by the Rev. Father O`Rourke.

John and May O’Caroll went to Liverpool England in late 1923 or early 1924. They sailed for New Zealand with the two eldest children Robert Emmett and Eileen Marklewies. Mary lost four children before the O’Carroll family settled in Australia in 1929[11]

It had rained heavily on the march to Kilmainham.

Another woman to endure a difficult walk to Kilmainham was May Gahan O’Carroll. She had been pelted with horse dung and bottles en route. One of the 1916 leaders, Michael Mallin, had sent her as a dispatch rider to the GPO on Easter Monday, where she remained until Wednesday, when she was sent further to Cleary’s Department Store.

Despite hiding in one of the vaults in Marlborough Street Cathedral, she was arrested and taken, first to the Custom House, then to Richmond Barracks, and finally to Kilmainham. She was held in the prison for roughly ten days, having no change of clothing and sharing a cell with two other girls.

Living in Australia years afterwards, May told her daughter that their cell was located on the ground floor, and a young “Tommy,” as she described him, climbed up to the window to tell them some of the leaders were to be executed. Every single , male or female, held in Kilmainham during those early weeks of May 1916 all mention the chilling, loud shots ringing out at dawn and echoing through the building, leaving them to wonder which of the men had been executed. May Gahan O’Carroll was interned again in Kilmainham seven years later, during the Irish Civil War.[12]
