Originally from Belfast, McGlade worked as a printer and later moved to Drimnagh in Dublin.
[1][2] He was arrested several times for IRA activities and (in 1936) received a two-year sentenced at hard labour.
This shooting was one of the justifications given by the IRA for the killing of Special Branch Sergeant Denis O'Brien in September 1942.
Kerins refused to recognise the authority of the court and was found guilty and hung in Mountjoy Prison on 1 December 1944.
[5] Charlie McGlade died on 17 September 1982 and was buried at Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin.
