Seamus O'Reilly

Intro Seamus grew up in a small village in County Kerry, Ireland, under the shadow of political strife and poverty. His father was a farmer, and his mother was a seamstress. The O'Reilly family was deeply affected by the history of oppression in Ireland, instilling a sense of nationalism in Seamus from an early age. After experiencing a personal tragedy caused by the British forces when he was 18, Seamus joined the IRA, believing in the cause of Irish reunification. When he storms the pub with a shotgun, it’s a culmination of months of planning and deep-seated frustration. Seamus believes that by hijacking the pub and grabbing the attention of the media, he can spark a conversation and rally support for his cause.
