O’FLAHERTY, Charles (c. 1794-1828: Dublin Weekly Register)

Information about his life is from O’Donoghue where he is described as the son of pawnbroker in Ross Lane, Dublin. He was apprenticed to a bookseller in Parliament Street and contributed verse—reprinted in Trifles—to the Dublin Morning Post. In Dec. 1824 he was working as a reporter for the newspaper when he was called as a witness in the trial of Daniel O’Connell for sedition. In about 1826 he moved to Wexford where he was proprietor and editor of the Evening Post. He died in Wexford on 21 Apr. 1828.  (O’Donoghue; Morning Advertiser 25 Dec. 1824; Dublin Weekly Register 3 May 1828)
