Derrybeg

Doirí Beaga[1] (anglicised as Derrybeg,[2] meaning 'small oak trees'), is a Gaeltacht village and townland in the parish of Gweedore (Gaoth Dobhair) in County Donegal, Ireland.

[4][5][6] On Sunday 3 February 1889, Royal Irish Constabulary district inspector William Limbrick Martin (locally known as An Mháirtínigh) arrived at Derrybeg's Roman Catholic church, Teach Phobail Mhuire with the intention of arresting McFadden immediately after Mass.

In response to Healy's statements, the Crown prosecutors offered a plea bargain which spared all defendants the death penalty.

[13][14] William Martin was buried in the Church of Ireland cemetery in Ballyshannon, under an inscription which described him as having been, "cruelly murdered while nobly doing his duty at Derrybeg."

Following his death from Ewing's sarcoma in 1994, the Requiem Mass for Altan flutist Frankie Kennedy took place at the Roman Catholic Church in Derrybeg.
