– Brian Maye on Kevin Izod O’Doherty, revolutionary Irish nationalist and pioneering Australian doctor

Granted a conditional pardon in June 1854, which barred him from settling in Ireland or Britain, he secretly returned to Ireland in 1855 and in August that year in London, he married his fiancée Mary Anne Kelly, who wrote patriotic poetry in the Nation newspaper under the pseudonym “Eva”.

Elected president of Queensland Medical Society in 1882, he also involved himself in the region’s politics, representing Brisbane in the Queensland Legislative Assembly , during which he introduced its first public-health act and a pharmacy bill to help poorer people.
