Subject: Neil McMonagle: Fallen Comrade of the IRSM

Fallen Comrade of the Irish Republican Socialist Movement

Neil McMonagle
Volunteer - Irish National Liberation Army
Killed on 2 February 1983

Born Eugene Cornelius McMonagle, he was a 24-year-old native of
Coshquin, a small housing estate in Derry.

He was unarmed when he was shot and killed by an undercover member of
the British Army's Special Air Service acting on information from an
informer in what was recognised as another in a long list of shoot-
to-kill incidents.

Two years earlier he read the oration at the funeral of INLA
hunger striker Patsy O'Hara.

A memorial to McMonagle was unveiled in the Shantallow/Leafair Park
area of Derry on 9 November 2003.

He died as he lived: a Republican Socialist. Remember him with honour
and pride.
