About Sheares brothers

The Sheares Brothers, Henry (1753–1798), and John (1766–1798) were prominent members in Ireland of the republican Society of United Irishmen. Active in Cork and in Dublin, they opposed a Protestant faction in the leadership who, fearing that the British Crown could buy loyalty through offers of emancipation, mistrusted Catholic intentions. In 1798, following high-level arrests, they approved In the May 23rd date for a general uprising, but were themselves arrested in advance of the rebellion and were subsequently executed.
