Neil Plunkett Boyle

Neil 'Plunkett' Boyle (; 1898 – 15 May 1923) was a commandant in the Anti-Treaty IRA from County Donegal.

Early life Boyle was born in Lackenagh, near Burtonport, County Donegal, in 1898. His interest in Irish history, particularly Joseph Plunkett in the 1916 Easter Rising, gained him the nickname 'Plunkett'. Boyle's father died when he was 19, and his mother was a devout Irish nationalist who influenced him greatly. He is buried in Kincasslagh graveyard.
