I wonder if it will throw any light on the Larry White murder in Cork during the 70's ?

Care to tell us who do not know the details of this incident about what happened? Thanks!

Not too sure I understand the question, but a good few years ago I met someone related to White who said that the whole truth about this killing never came out. I don't know too much about it, except that I think it involved members of OIRA ( think White was one ) having a fall out over bank raid proceeds. I know there was a trial of some sorts but don't know if anyone was found guilty or what the sentence was. Those older than me or more in the know might fill in the details.

Larry White was not in the OIRA. He was a member of Saor Eire Those who were convicted of his murder were Stickies but they had their convictions overturned on appeal. One of them, Bernard Lynch, is married to Kathleen Lynch TD and is the brother of Kierian Lynch TD.

I wonder what it says about the murder of Seamus Costello. Should be interesting reading.

One party member, Brian Lynch from Cork, went on the run as a result.

Where is Brian Lynch now?

I understand that the stooge who murdered SC was himself killed shortly thereafter. Goulding put him up to it.

Yeah, the INLA killed the man supposedly. Well goulding wouldnt of had the authority, no doubt he and garland supported it though, it would have been an army council decision.

Yep. Jimmy Flynn; shot by INLA in revenge for Séamus Costello; buried in Crossmaglen cemetry. All the top WP heads attended his paramilitary funeral.

Any info on the 19/10/75 OIRA killing of Billy Wright in Cabra?
