Fallen Comrades of the Irish Republican Socialist Movement

*******

Colin Maguire
Member - Irish Republican Socialist Party
Volunteer - Irish National Liberation Army
Died on 10 October 1987

Colin Maguire was 31 years old when he died in Portlaoise Prison in
the South of Ireland.

Born in Liverpool to a Presbyterian minister of Irish descent, he was
involved in republican, leftist, and anti-fascist activism in his
native city, as well as being a member of the IRSP's support group
there.

In the early 1980s, he moved to the Divis Flats in West Belfast, and
joined the IRSP and the INLA. Harassment by the Royal Ulster
Constabulary forced him to go on the run, and he soon found himself in
Dundalk in the South.

During an INLA operation in Dundalk, he stayed behind to give his
comrades a better chance to escape from the South's Gardai police.

Imprisoned in Portlaoise, he eventually went on hunger strike. He died
soon after his hunger strike ended, in a manner never properly
explained by prison authorities, who appeared to have deliberately
neglected his health care needs.

Patrick Campbell
Volunteer - Irish National Liberation Army
Died on 10 October 1999

Patrick Campbell, age 22, was living in Dublin and a member of an
anti-drugs unit of the INLA when he was involved in a confrontation
with Dublin criminals, who attacked the unit and critically injured
him. He died four days later in hospital.

He was originally from West Belfast, coming from a long-standing
and respected republican family. His father Robert was a member of a
Provisional Irish Republican Army unit responsible for the shooting
death of a British Special Air Service captain in 1980 and later
escaped from Crumlin Road Jail.

They died as they lived: as Republican Socialists. Remember them with
honour and pride.
