Patrick Hoey
Patrick was a Civilian Casualty of the 1916 Easter Rising, which commenced in Dublin on Monday 24th April 1916.

He was murdered by British Soldiers of the South Staffordshire Regiment at North King Street, Dublin, on Saturday 29th April 1916.
Many of The South Staffordshire Regiment had been injured and killed in the North King Street area during the Easter Rising, 19 of whom were killed.
When they finally reached O'Reilly's Public house [now known as "The Tap"] at the corner of North King Street and Upper Church Street, the Volunteers who had been based there had made their escape.
In revenge, the soldiers vented their anger on the local civilians and entered the nearby houses, shooting and/or bayoneting 16 innocent men.

At No. 27 North King Street, "The Louth Dairy", they found Peter Lawless, James McCartney, James Finnegan and Patrick Hoey.
Lawless was a son of the owner of the dairy, McCartney was a Manager of a Tobacco Shop, and Finnegan and Hoey were Bread-Van delivery men who were Tenants of an apartment overhead.
They were beaten and later had their throats cut. Their bodies were set on fire and buried in the rear yard.

At the subsequent inquests, the jury found that all of the victims were unarmed and unoffending prisoners in custody, and that they died from shock and haemorrhage caused by bullet wounds inflicted by a soldier or soldiers. The Coroner requested the presence of the officer-in-charge, to explain the circumstances of the actions of the soldiers under his command who had caused the deaths, but he failed to appear.

The victims of the massacre by the British Soldiers in North King Street were,

Patrick Bealin
John Beirnes
Peter Connolly
Edward Dunne
George Ennis
James Finegan
James Patrick Healy
Patrick Hoey
Christopher Hickey and his father,
Thomas Hickey
