La Ballata di Joe Mcdonnell patriota dell'EIRE- The Wolfe Tones

Joseph (Joe) McDonnell (Irish name: Seosamh Mac Dónaill;[1] 14 September 1951 - 8 July 1981) was a volunteer in the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) , who died in the 1981 Irish hunger strike.

McDonnell was arrested in Operation Demetrius and interned on the prison ship HMS Maidstone along with Gerry Adams and others. He was later moved to HMP Maze for several months. Upon release he joined the Provisional IRA Belfast Brigade. McDonnell met Bobby Sands in the run up to an IRA firebomb attack on the Balmoral Furnishing Company. During the ensuing shoot-out between the IRA and the police and British Army, both men along with Séamas Finucane and Seán Lavery were arrested. McDonnell and the other men were sentenced to 14 years in prison for possession of a firearm. None of the men accepted the jurisdiction of the court.
