Original article by Greg Quiery
The Manserghs, an Anglo-Irish family, to which Martin Mansergh belonged, attached much importance to the family dog. It is said that they switched their allegiance from the British side to Irish Republicanism when their dog was shot by the Black and Tans in 1920, at their estate in Tipperary, which may well explain Martin’s loyalty to Fianna Fáil.
