Subject: Mickey Kearney: Fallen Comrade of the IRSM

Fallen Comrade of the Irish Republican Socialist Movement

Mickey Kearney
Volunteer - Irish National Liberation Army
Assassinated on 18 February 1987

Mickey "Streetwise" Kearney, age 33 and a father of five, was
ambushed and murdered by the Irish People's Liberation Organisation
after he slipped out of hiding to visit his wife and children in
Ballymurphy, West Belfast.

He had been released from prison before Christmas 1986 after charges
against him were withdrawn because the appeals judge rejected an
informer's testimony. After Kearney's release, he was placed on a hit
list by the IPLO, which forced him to go into hiding.

The IPLO was a counter-revolutionary group formed by individuals who
had resigned or been purged from the IRSM, who then came together to
destroy the IRSM.

A memorial to Kearney and another comrade was unveiled in the New
Barnsley area of West Belfast on 20 January 2003.

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