  • Austin Stack (7 December 1879 – 27 April 1929) was an Irish revolutionary. Austin Stack was born in Ballymullen, Tralee, County Kerry. He was educated at the Christian Brothers School in Tralee. At the age of fourteen he left school and became a clerk in a solicitor's office. A gifted Gaelic footballer, he captained the Kerry team to All-Ireland glory in 1904. He also served as President of the Kerry Gaelic Athletic Association County Board. He became politically active in 1908 when he joined the Irish Republican Brotherhood. In 1916, as commandant of the Kerry Brigade of the Irish Volunteers, he made preparations for the landing of arms by Roger Casement. Although he was made aware that Casement was arrested on Easter Saturday and was being held in Tralee, he made no attempt to rescue him from Ballymullen Barracks. District Inspector Kearney (RIC) treated Casement very well and made sure Stack was aware that Casement could have been rescued, yet he refused to act as his orders were to rise later. He (Stack) was arrested and sentenced to death for his involvement in the Rising, however, this was later commuted to penal servitude for life. Stack was released under general amnesty in June 1917 and was elected as an abstentionist Sinn Féin Member of Parliament for Kerry West in the 1918 Westminster election, becoming a member of the 1st Dáil. He was automatically elected as an abstentionist member of the House of Commons of Southern Ireland and a member of the 2nd Dáil as a Sinn Féin Teachta Dála for Kerry–Limerick West in the Irish elections, 1921. He opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921, and took part in the subsequent Civil War. He was captured in 1923 and went on hunger strike for forty-one days before being released in July 1924. He was elected to the 3rd Dáil at the 1922 general election and subsequent elections as a Anti-Treaty Sinn Féin TD for the Kerry constituency. When Éamon de Valera founded Fianna Fáil in 1926, Stack remained with Sinn Féin being re-elected to the Dáil in the June 1927 general election. He did not contest the September 1927 general election Stack's health never recovered after his hunger strike and he died in a Dublin hospital on 27 April 1929, aged 49. Austin Stack Park in his home town of Tralee, one of the Gaelic Athletic Association's stadiums, is named in his honour, as is the Austin Stacks Hurling and Gaelic football club.
  • Austin Stack (født 7. desember 1879, død 27. april 1927 var en irsk republikaner og medlem av Dáil Éireann. Stack ble født i Ballymullen ved Tralee i Kerry. Han ble utdannet hos Christian Brothers der. Fjorten år gammel sluttet han på skolen og begynte å jobbe på et advokatkontor. Han var en dyktig gælisk fotball-spiller, og var kaptein for Kerrylaget da dette vant det all-irske mesterskapet i 1904. Han var også president for grevskapslaget av Gaelic Athletic Association . I 1908 ble han politisk aktiv, og meldte seg inn i Irish Republican Brotherhood . I 1916 var han kommandant for Irish Volunteers' Kerrybrigade, og hadde ansvar for å ta imot våpenlasten Roger Casement sendte fra Tyskland. Han fikk vite at Casement hadde blitt arrestert og ble holdt i Ballymullen Barracks, men gjorde ikke noe forsøk på å redde ham. Royal Ulster Constabularys distriktsinspektør, Kearney, behandlet Casement godt og sørget til og med for at Stack fikk vite at det ville være enkelt å få ham fri, men Stack gikk fortsatt ikke til aksjon. Etter påskeopprøret ble han arrestert og dømt til døden. Dommen ble omgjort til livstids fengsel, og han ble løslatt under et generelt amnesti i juni 1917. I desember 1918 ble han valgt inn i det britiske parlamentet for Sinn Féin, men som de andre representantene til partiet boikottet han parlamentet, og var i stedet med på å opprettet Det første Dáil. I 1921 var han motstander av den anglo-irske traktat, og under borgerkrigen kjempet han for IRA. Han ble tatt til fange i 1923, og sultestreiket i 41 dager under fengselsoppholdet. Han ble løslatt i juli 1924. Da Éamon de Valera grunnla partiet Fianna Fáil i 1926 var Stack en av de som valgte å forbli i Sinn Féin. Han ble valgt inn i Dáil igjen i 1927. Han kom seg aldri helt etter sultestreiken, og døde på sykehus i Dublin 27. april 1929, 49 år gammel. Austin Stack Park, GAAs stadion i Tralee, er navngitt etter ham.
