Fallen Comrades of the Irish Republican Socialist Movement
*******
Emmanuel Gargan
Volunteer - Irish National Liberation Army
Assassinated on 21 March 1987
Emmanuel Gargan, aged 25, was killed in a South Belfast pub by an
Irish People's Liberation Organisation gunman in retaliation for the
INLA's execution of IPLO leader Gerard Steenson on March 15th. Gargan
had survived two earlier attempts on his life by the IPLO, and was
still on crutches from the second attempt when he was killed.
A memorial to Gargan and other comrades was dedicated in the Markets
area of South Belfast on 11 May 2003.
*******
Kevin Barry Duffy
Volunteer - Irish National Liberation Army
Assassinated on 21 March 1987
Kevin Barry Duffy, aged 20, was killed in Armagh City by the Irish
People's Liberation Organisation in retaliation for the INLA's
execution of IPLO leader Gerard Steenson on March 15th.
*******
Gargan and Duffy were both involved in the INLA's efforts to defend
itself and the Irish Republican Socialist Party from the IPLO's
attacks, which were aimed at destroying the IRSM.
They died as they lived: as Republican Socialists. Remember them with
honour and pride.
