The eighth republican to join the hunger-strike for political status, on 23rd May, following the death of Patsy O’Hara, was twenty-five-year-old fellow INLA Volunteer Kevin Lynch from the small, North Derry town of Dungiven who had been imprisoned since his arrest in 1976.

I haven't actually gotten a chance to listen to any music today so
today's song of the day is C'est La Vie by B*Witched
because I think it's class and it's been stuck in my head all week. Trad breakdown in the middle of a late 90s pop tune, dumbest idea to ever work.

On March 30th, 1979, BBC News reported:
"...Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary Airey Neave has been killed by a car bomb as he left the House of Commons car park. The bomb, said to be highly sophisticated, exploded as Mr Neave began driving up the exit ramp…So far two groups, the Provisional IRA and the Irish National Liberation Army, have claimed they carried out the killing…"
Airey Neave suffered catastrophic injuries and subsequently died at Westminster Hospital. The assassination coincided with the beginning of the general election campaign, and he was set to be Northern Ireland Secretary in the event of a Tory win. He was known as a proponent for using strong military force against Irish republican paramilitaries. The INLA (who it appears were the real culprits), in their justification, described this as 'rabid militarist calls for more repression against the Irish people'.
Margaret Thatcher, Tory Opposition Leader, described Airey Neave as 'one of freedom's warriors. Courageous, staunch, true. He lived for his beliefs and now he has died for them'.
Labour Prime Minister (although not for long), Jim Callaghan, promised that 'No effort will be spared to bring the murderers to justice and to rid the United Kingdom of the scourge of terrorism'.
Airey Neave was a decorated World War Two veteran (MC and DSO) who had achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He was the first British officer to escape from Colditz Castle.
In April 2019, The Express and other media reported that the investigation into the assassination would be reopened, with focus on a person of interest named Harry Flynn who’d been previously identified as the INLA’s chief of staff. According to the Belfast Telegraph, Britain had attempted to extradite Flynn from France in 1987 where he was serving five years for gun running, but 'failed as his crime was deemed political'.
As of 2019, according to reports, Flynn was aged 65 and ran a pub in Mallorca. There doesn’t appear to be any further reporting on this, so we can assume the case is still open.
