• Seán Larkin (Irish: Seán Ó Lorcain) was a militant Irish republican from the townland of Bellagherty (Baile Uí Facharthaigh) in Ballinderry. He was a member of the Irish Volunteers in the early 1910s, and was later a member of the Irish Republican Army (3rd Western Division) during the Irish War of Independence. He did not support the Anglo-Irish Treaty, which gave independence to most of Ireland (as the Irish Free State) because it allowed Northern Ireland to remain within the United Kingdom and fought for the "anti-treaty" side in the Irish Civil War which followed. He was executed by the Irish Free State on March 14 1923. Republicans hold commemorations at his graveside every year.
