Tipperary Hurling Supporters Tradition of paying Tribute to Sean Treacy on All Ireland Final Day

Sean Treacy was one of the leaders of the Third Tipperary Brigade of the Irish Republican Army during the Irish War of Independence. He helped to start the conflict in 1919 and was killed in a shoot out with British troops in Talbot Street, Dublin during an aborted British Secret Service surveillance operation in October 1920. When Tipperary reach an All Ireland final they pay tribute to his memory by saying the decade of the rosary and remembering him at the spot where he was killed.
