The most brutal thing about the Irish Free State's refusal of a proper pension to Thomas Bryan's widow is that they did not properly investigate her claim that he had been at the terrible fight around Clanwilliam House, Mount Street, in the 1916 Easter Rising, and refused her a 1916-connected pension.
