Darrell Figgis

Darrell Edmund Figgis was an Irish writer, Sinn Fin activist and independent parliamentarian in the Irish Free State. The little that has been written about him has attempted to highlight how thoroughly his memory and works have been excised from Irish popular culture.

Darrell Figgis was born at Rathmines in Dublin, but while he was still an infant his family emigrated to Calcutta in India. There his father worked as an agent in the tea business, founding A W Figgis amp Co. They returned when Darrell was ten years of age, though his father continued to spend much of his time in India.
