Justice For Tommy McAuley

Extramural ActivityLeave a comment

Proprietor of the Mill Diner on the Crumlin Road Tommy McAuley was shot by the UVF in 1987 in retaliation for the Enniskillen bombing. His case was examined by the Historical Enquiries Team (HET) who reported (in 2011) that the police did not question suspects identified by witnesses and the family lobbied the ombudsman to reopen the case (U.tv). The flowers and poster are on the front of the closed diner.

This is the first dedicated mention of Tony Taylor (he is listed alongside other republican prisoners in RNU Supports The POWs), perhaps singled out because of his status as RNU spokesperson. Taylor was released under the conditions of the Good Friday agreement but jailed for three years in 2011 for possession of a rifle (BBC).

Kathleen Feeney

“In loving memory of Kathleen Feeney, shot dead 14th November 1973, aged 14 years. Erected by her family & friends from the Brandywell & surrounding area.” Feeney was killed during an IRA sniper attack on the British Army in Quarry Street and at the time the IRA denied that Feeney was hit by an IRA bullet. In 2005, however, it released a statement (CAIN) announcing that it had conducted an investigation and was reversing the claim.

… or “LCDA” for short. There’s no information about the group on-line, so it’s not clear if it is/was a predecessor to the UDA (as e.g. with the WDA) or the local battalion of the UDA. Feedback is welcomed.

On the columns are the names of volunteers Cecil McKnight, Lindsay Mooney, Ray Smallwoods, Gary Lynch, Ben Redfern, and William Campbell.
