Wolfe Tone (Bhulbh Teón) was born in Dublin on 20th June 1793. He was one of the founding members of the United Irishmen, a republican society determined to end British rule in Ireland. He came from a Protestant family. He was active in drawing Irish Catholics and Presbyterians together in the United cause, and in soliciting French assistance for a general insurrection.

On the mild morning of 16th December 1796, the 43 ship fleet of L’Expédition d’Irlande left Brest, France on its way to invade Ireland. #WolfeTone was aboard one.

They arrived in Bantry Bay on 22nd. Severe storms along the Atlantic coast meant they failed to disembark troops & ultimately led to the fleet giving up the attempt.

Castlereagh arrived there with troops on 7th January 1797 and watched the last French ships leave Bantry Bay.

On the 19th November 1792, France offered assistance to any people rising against its government.

(See #WolfeTone for an example of such assistance being sought.)

#WolfeTone's resolution regarding the need to include Catholics was buried. Angered at the prejudice he perceived in that act, Tone wrote his "Argument on Behalf of the Catholics of Ireland".

Based on Paine among others, Tone argues for the desperate need for political reform. Such reform, he says cannot be successful if it ignores the majority: Catholics. He rebutts arguments that Catholics cannot be trusted.

His pamphlet was widely popular.

"Our freedom must be had at all hazards. If the men of property will not help us they must fall; we will free ourselves by the aid of that large and respectable class of the community – the men of no property." - #WolfeTone
