Those of us who know the lyrics to "The wearing of the Green" will want to know more about the history:

'I met with Napper Tandy and he took me by the hand
He said "How's dear old Ireland and how does she stand?"'

in 1803 – James Napper Tandy, Irish patriot and revolutionary, dies in exile in Bordeaux, France.

Born in Dublin around 1740, Tandy was educated at the Quaker boarding school in Ballitore, Co. Kildare, a school whose distinguished pupils included Edmund Burke.

A prominent Dublin political reformer, Tandy became one of the leading figures in the early Society of United Irishmen and played an important role in establishing its Dublin organization.

Facing arrest for his revolutionary activities, Tandy fled Ireland in 1793, eventually making his way to France. There, he sought French support for an Irish rising and was given the rank of general in the French service.

In September 1798, Tandy sailed aboard the Anacreon with a small force of Irish and French supporters. On 16 September, he landed on Rutland Island off the coast of Donegal, hoping to support the French-backed rebellion. But General Humbert’s forces had already surrendered at Ballinamuck, and Tandy’s expedition was abandoned after only a few hours.

Captured after making his way through Europe, Tandy was eventually released following French intervention and returned to France. He spent his final years in Bordeaux, where he died on 24 August 1803.

A controversial and colorful figure of the United Irish movement, Napper Tandy remains part of the popular memory of the revolutionary era in Ireland. 🇮🇪
