Throughout the revolutionary years, Cork Cumann na mBan members demonstrated, raised funds, worked election campaigns, and fought in the War of Independence primarily in intelligence, communications, and administrative roles. In 1918, the Cork organization formed a district council of 15 affiliated branches in the city area and parts of mid-Cork. Below are the names of 326 members of 10 Cumann na mBan branches located in Cork city and its suburbs, based on government pension submissions in 1938. Most branches were geographically based in a city neighborhood, though the two biggest branches, Cork and Craobh Poblachtac Na hÉireann, were city-wide. Many women are listed by their married names only, and sometimes without their first names. This list does not include every female participant in the War of Independence, as the 1938 pension submissions omitted five local Cumann na mBan branches, the Irish Women’s Citizen Army organization, branches of Clan na Gael (the republican girl guides), and individuals who affiliated directly with the IRA rather than Cumann na mBan. However, it does reflect the strong contributions made by Cork women to the independence movement.
