Liam Sutcliffe- Irish Republican Solider and Revolutionary

 

 

This important interview was conducted by Michael Healy of the Irish Republican and Marxist History Project with veteran republican, Liam Sutcliffe. More information on the Irish Republican and Marxist History Project can be found here: http://irishrepublicanmarxisthistoryproject.wordpress.com/

 

Liam Sutcliffe lives in Walkinstown in Dublin South Central. He joined the IRA in 1954, being 'sworn in' to the organisation in a house in Ballyfermot.

 

Months later Sutcliffe was an IRA agent, operating inside the British Army, planning the arms raid in Gough Barracks Armagh.

Liam was later involved in the 1966 republican operation which blew up Nelson's Pillar in Dublin. Sutcliffe joined Saor Éire in 1970, and continued to be involved in the fight for Irish freedom later working again with the IRA.

 

This is his story.
