Michael Leahy is Chairman of the Irish Freedom Party.
Sean Wall was a successful builder and former Chairman of Limerick City and County Council during this important time in Irish history.
Limerick City Archivist Jacqui Hayes said: "Sean Wall led the East Limerick Brigade and one of the first Flying Columns during the War of Independence before being shot dead while on active duty by the RIC on 6 May 1921.
"As the Chairman of Limerick County Council, he was also on the run from British authorities throughout his tenure.
"He was a very effective manager and organiser and fundraised thousands of pounds for the Dáil Loan Scheme, and the East Limerick branch raised the most money in the country by more than £10,000."
She said Fr Tom Wall was also an influential figure in nationalist and republican circles in Limerick, having founded the first Irish Volunteer branch in Limerick.
He was one of the two priests that General John Maxwell, Military Govenor in Ireland during 1916, requested the Bishop of Limerick to discipline for their support for the nationalist movement.
