- Thomas Patrick Ashe born in Lispole, County Kerry, Ireland, a teacher, was a member of the Gaelic League, the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) and a founding member of the Irish Volunteers. During the summer of 1913, he was one of the IRB members that Douglas Hyde, president of the Gaelic League, attempted to expel. Commanding the Fingal battalion of the Irish Volunteers, Ashe took part in the Easter Rising of 1916. Ashe's force of 60-70 men engaged British forces around north County Dublin during the rising. The battalion won a major victory in Ashbourne, County Meath where they engaged a much larger force capturing a significant quantity of arms and up to 20 Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) vehicles. 24 hours after the rising collapsed, Ashe's battalion surrendered on the orders of Padraig Pearse. On 8 May 1916, Ashe and Éamon de Valera were court-martialled and both were sentenced to death. The sentences were commuted to penal servitude for life. Ashe was imprisoned in Lewes Prison in England. With the entry of the U.S. into World War I in April 1917, the British government was put under more pressure to solve the 'Irish problem'. De Valera, Ashe and Thomas Hunter led a prisoner hunger strike on 28 May 1917 to add to this pressure. With accounts of prison mistreatment appearing in the Irish press and mounting protests in Ireland, Ashe and the remaining prisoners were freed on 18 June 1917 by Lloyd George as part of a general amnesty. Upon release, Ashe returned to Ireland and began a series of speaking engagements. In August 1917, Ashe was arrested and charged with sedition for a speech that he made in Ballinalee, County Longford where Michael Collins had also been speaking. He was detained at the Curragh but was then transferred to Mountjoy Prison in Dublin. He was convicted and sentenced to two years hard labour. Ashe and other prisoners, including Austin Stack, demanded prisoner of war status. As this protest evolved Ashe again went on hunger strike on 20 September 1917. On 25 September 1917, he died at the Mater Hospital after being force-fed by prison authorities. At the inquest into his death, the jury condemned the staff at the prison for the "inhuman and dangerous operation performed on the prisoner, and other acts of unfeeling and barbaric conduct". Ashe's death had a significant impact on the country increasing Republican recruitment, his body lay in state at Dublin City Hall, and was buried in Glasnevin Cemetery in Dublin. He was also a relative of Catherine Ashe, the paternal grandmother of American actor Gregory Peck, who emigrated to the United States in the 19th century.
- Thomas Ashe fou un revolucionari irlandès. Era mestre d'escola, membre de l'Associació Atlètica Gaèlica i de la Lliga Gaèlica, més tard ingressà a la Germandat Republicana Irlandesa, on va fer amistat amb John Devoy, Roger Casement i Joe Mac Garrity. Durant l'aixecament de Pasqua de 1916 va dirigir el V Batalló de la Brigada de Dublín dels Voluntaris Irlandesos i s'enfrontà als RIC a Ashbourn, provocant vuit morts i cinc ferits fins que es va rendir per ordre de Patrick Pearse. Juntament amb Eamon de Valera fou condemnat a mort, però li fou condemnat per perpétua a Lewes. L'estiu del 1917 fou alliberat, però l'arrestaren novament per fer discursos independentistes. Tancat a la presó de Mountjoy (Dublín), va fer una vaga de fam fins a la mort en demanda de l'estatut de presoner polític.
- Thomas Patrick Ashe az ír Lispole faluban született, Kerry tartományban. Tanár, a Gaelic liga tagja, az "Ír Kötzárasági Testvérség" (Irish Republican Brotherhood) szervezetének tagja és az Irish Volunteers alapító tagja volt. Ashe részt vett az 1916-os Húsvéti felkelésben. Ashe 60-70 emberből álló hadereje brit csapatokkal ütközött meg Dublin környékén a felkelés alatt. A csata döntő győzelmét Ashbourne-nál szerezték meg, ahol túlerővel szemben diadalmaskodtak. 24 órával később azonban a felkelést leverték, így Ashe csapata megsemmisült. 1917. május 8-án Ashe-t halálra ítélték, amit később életfogytig tartó börtönbüntetésre módosítottak. Ashe-t angliai börtönbe szállították át. Miután 1917 áprilisában az Egyesült Államok belépett az I. világháborúba, a brit kormányra mégnagyobb nyomás nehezedett, hogy oldja meg az "ír kérdést". Ashe és börtöntársainak éhségsztrájkja is hozzájárult a politikai nyomáshoz. A az angol börtönökben zajló kegyetlenkedésekről szóló túlzó cikkek, melyek az ír sajtóban megjelentek, nagyban hozzájárultak ahhoz, hogy Ashe és társai 1917. június 18-án kiszabadultak általános amnesztia után. Ashe visszatért Írországba s közben heves felszólalásokat tartott szerte az országban. 1917 augusztusában letartóztatták lázadás vádjával. Ezúttal egy dublini börtönbe került, ahol két évet kellett eltöltenie kemény fizikai munkával. Újra éhségsztrájba kezdtek, majd miután erőszakkal megetették, korházban halt meg 1917. szeptember 25-én.
- Thomas Patrick Ashe var en irsk lærer og republikaner. Ashe var medlem av Conradh na Gaeilge og Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB), og en av grunnleggerne av Irish Volunteers. Sommeren 1913 forsøkte Douglas Hyde, lederen for Conradh na Gaeilge, å få ham og andre IRB-medlemmer ekskludert fra organisasjonen fordi de brukte den til å oppnå sine egne mål. Under påskeopprøret i 1916 hadde Ashe kommandoen over Fingal-bataljonen av Volunteers. Hans styrke på 60–70 mann var den eneste enheten utenfor Dublin som var involverte i større kamper under opprøret, da de angrep britiske styrker i Ashbourne i Meath. Den britiske styrken var tallmessig sterkt overlegen, men Volunteers beseiret dem etter å ha drept åtte og såret femten soldater. De tok med seg en betydelig mengde våpen og opptil tyve kjøretøyer. Bataljonen overgav seg et døgn etter at opprøret hadde blitt slått ned, etter ordre fra Pádraig Pearse. Den 8. mai 1917 ble Ashe stilt for krigsrett sammen med Éamon de Valera. Begge ble dømt til døden, men dommene ble omgjort til livstids fengsel, sannsynligvis fordi britene allerede hadde fått føle tilbakeslaget etter henrettelsene av opprørsledere i mai 1916. Ashe ble sendt til soning i Lewes fengsel i England. Da USA kom inn i første verdenskrig i april 1917 ble det enda viktigere for britene å løse «det irske problemet». De Valera, Ashe og Thomas Hunter begynte en sultestreik 28. mai for å øke presset. Den irske pressen overdrev rapporter om mishandling av fanger, og protestene økte kraftig. David Lloyd George valgte derfor den 18. juni 1917 å løslate de fengslede etter påskeopprøret under et generelt amnesti. Ashe vendte tilbake til Irland og begynte å reise rundt for å tale til forsamlinger. I august 1917 ble han igjen arrestert, og tiltalt for oppvigleri på grunn av en tale han hadde holdt i Ballinalee i Longford, på et møte hvor også Michael Collins talte. Han ble først satt i varetekt i Curragh, men ble så sendt til Mountjoy fengsel i Dublin. Under rettssaken ble han dømt til to års straffarbeid. Sammen med andre fanger, deriblant Austin Stack, krevde han status som krigsfange, og den 20. september 1917 gikk han igjen til sultestreik. Fem dager senere døde han på sykehus etter å ha blitt tvangsmatet av fengselsmyndighetene. Hans død hadde en stor innvirkning på republikanernes rekruttering. Liket ble lagt på lit-de-parade i Dublins rådhus, og han ble gravlagt på Glasnevin gravlund i Dublin.
