Dillon, John Blake (1814–66),
Young Irelander. Son of a Catholic shopkeeper in Ballaghadereen, Co. Mayo, Dillon was educated at
Maynooth and
Trinity College, Dublin. He was called to the bar and joined the
Repeal Association in 1841. A founder of the
Nation, he seceded from the Repeal Association with the other Young Irelanders in 1846, but continued to seek reconciliation with Old Ireland, and in 1848 hoped nationalist reunion would effect a bloodless moral force revolution. Following the conviction of John
Mitchel, however, he decided that a rising was the only honourable course. Dillon was a member of the confederate war council, commanded the rebels at Killenaule (see
rebellion of 1848), and subsequently escaped to New York, where he set up a legal practice with Richard O'Gorman. He returned to Dublin following the amnesty of 1855, entered municipal politics, and collaborated with Paul
Cullen in establishing the
National Association in 1864. Elected MP for Co. Tipperary in 1865, he attacked
Fenianism, and sought an alliance with British radicals for land reform and Irish church
disestablishment. Dillon died suddenly from cholera in September 1866.
