previously examined the fatal shooting of ira member peter mccarthy on lower clanbrassil street in 1937 and the killing of another young republican jackie griffith near merrion square in 1943 introduction on 24 may 1950 17 year old patrick murray was accidentally shot dead in the backyard of the headquarters of the republican prisoners release association in dublin at his funeral in glasnevin cemetery the teenager s coffin was draped with a tricolour and was accompanied by a guard of honour of the deceased s former comrades his recently restored headstone describes him as vol padraíg murray attached to the dublin ira however his name is not included any republican roll of honour including a list of 1936 1963 deaths published by sinn féin in 1966 or the last post 1972 edition there is also no mention of his death in any of the major studies of the ira in the period j bower bell donnacha ó beacháin etc any of the books which cover the border campaign era barry flynn matt treacy etc or any of the memoirs from dublin ira men who were active in the early 1950s mick ryan éamonn boyce etc background patrick mary lorenzo murray also known as pádraig murray was born in dublin in 1933 his father john murray a 37 year old carpenter had died on 18 september 1932 in the richmond hospital of bronchiectasis pneumococcal meningitis according to his death certificate his address at the time was 54 walsh road drumcondra dublin 9 by the 1940s the murray family was living at 51 st joseph s place in the dorset street area of the north inner city patrick lived with his mother mary two brothers sean and philip and two sisters maura máire and ellen tbc st joseph s place comprises of seven parallel rows of redbrick terraced cottages one or two bedrooms within a u shaped perimeter avenue they are accessible via nelson street blessington street and upper dorset street beside the findlater public house built by the dublin artisan s dwellings company in the 1890s for renting to working class tradesmen they were bought out by dublin corporation in the 1920s a view of st joseph s place in 1962 credit william stevens in april 1946 belfast man james mccorry or mccurry 25 was sentenced to six months imprisonment for firearms offences in the special criminal court he gave his dublin address as 51 st joseph s place which indicates that the murray home was a safe house for belfast ira men who were involved in ira reorganising work in the capital a mrs j mccurry was listed as a sister of patrick murray in a 1950 report on his funeral which suggests that james mccurry later married patrick murray s sister a 13 year old patrick murray would have been undoubtedly affected by the republcian activities of his future brother in law and may have helped shape his own politics the weekly irish times 27 april 1946 republican prisoners release association 9 north frederick street the republican prisoners release association rpra was established in october 1945 by long standing ira veterans including maurice twomey jim killeen and simon donnelly who had been inactive since the civil war at the time there were 80 republicans in jail in belfast 40 in england and 30 in the 26 counties other figures associated with the group included peadar cowan sean macbride and con lehane the organisation had 29 branches across the island by early 1948 as reported in the dublin evening mail 30 january 1948 newspaper ad showing rpra s head office address the irish press 25 may 1946 the organisation had offices at 9 north frederick street from at least 1946 which it shared with other groups sharing an overlapping membership and support base including the easter commemoration committee 1946 the harry white defence fund 1946 and the national commemoration committee 1949 by mid 1950 there were only a very small number of ira prisoners left in belfast jails including liam burke and jimmy steele which left the release and welfare organisations largely defunct ira activity the death of patrick murray in 1950 occurred in a decade long gap of major ira activity between the end of the northern campaign 1942 1946 and the start of the border campaign 1956 1962 due to state harassment arrests emigration and internal infighting the republican movement was at one of its lowest ebbs according to bowyer bell in the secret army pg 296 the dublin ira was the strongest unit in the country in 1950 but only had 40 members divided into two companies which could seldom parade more than a dozen men each the ira did re organise in late 1950 and grow under the direction of tony magan but this did not start until after murray s death although the dublin ira was small in the late 1940s and early 1950s period there was still a turnover of membership of young men from overwhelmingly working class backgrounds they included tom mitchell later mp etc of inverness road in fairview who joined the ira in 1949 éamonn mac thomáis of goldenbridge in inchciore who joined in c 1950 eamonn boyce of galtymore road in drimnagh who joined in 1952 peter pringle of woodfield cottages in inchicore who also joined in 1952 and mick ryan of east wall who joined in 1954 who was in charge of the dublin ira when patrick murray was active in its orbit in early 1950 j bowyer bell pg 286 states that sean sheehy replaced william mcguinness when the latter was promoted to chief of staff in 1947 gearóid ó broin presumably took the place of sheehy as ó broin was described as o c of the dublin unit of the ira in the early 1950s in éamon boyce s insider pg 11 he was replaced by éamonn mac thomáis who held the position from 1952 to mid 1956 according to insider so it s likely that sean sheehy or gearóid ó broin were head of the ira s dublin in summer 1950 in mid 1950 patrick murray was 17 and a half and worked as a carpenter s apprentice his best friend and close neighbour was eamonn deegan who lived at 2 brennan s cottages rere of 114 upper dorset street which was about five five minute walk 400m from murray s home the pair both lived less than a five minute walk from 9 north frederick street which was an important social hub and meeting point for republicans in the city what events did patrick murray possibly attend in the year or so before his death he might have been one of the 500 revellers at a céilidh in the mansion house on 11 february 1949 organised by the republican prisoners release association the two most important republican commemorations in the year were to mark the anniversary of easter rising april and wolfe tone in bodenstown june the national commemoration committee s 1916 easter commemoration took place on 17 april 1949 a procession with a colour party and pipe bands marched from st stephen s green to glasnevin cemetery headed by the dublin battalion ira followed by contingents from cumann na mban clan na gaedheal republican girl guides na fianna éireann sinn féin the national graves association and cumann na poblachta a wreath was laid on the republican plot by j dunne chairman ncc and a decade of the rosary was recited in irish by michael o neill a statement from the ira was read by cristóir o neill christy o neill and the main oration was given by sean mcgrath who told the crowd the army and the physical force movement appeal to all young men and women to come again into the ranks and carry on the fight begun in 1916 which carried on in 1919 and 1922 and bring it to fruition the irish press 18 april 1949 the ncc were also the organisers of the wolfe tone commemoration at bodenstown cemetery sallins county kildare on 19 june 1949 wreaths were laid by micheál mac conbuidhe michael conway secretary ncc and margaret buckley sinn féin thousands listened to the main oration by cristóir o neill christy o neill who appealed to the crowd i appeal to all the young men who are willing to fight for their country s freedom and their own salvation to come into the ira take your stand with the men who have never ceased to resist the invader there are some people unsuited to a military organisation by reason of sex age or temperament sinn féin the republican civil organisation caters for these a meeting was held afterwards addressed by emmett mcginn clann na ngaedhel philadelphia with j dunne chairman ncc acting as chief steward just six weeks before patrick murray s death the ncc s 1916 easter commemoration parade on 09 april 1950 at glasnevin cemetery was addressed outside the gates by tomas óg maccurtain 1915 1994 who was a member of the ira army council murray may have been part of the 1 000 strong crowd who were told by maccurtain that the ira stood for the aims and objects for which those who had died in arms had stood it was not their duty to pay attention to politicians who thought that paragraphs in american or french press would free ireland the struggle would be a struggle in ireland by irishmen with guns in their hands the irish press 10 april 1950 anthony mcgann magan 1910 1981 ira chief of staff from 1948 to 1957 read a statement issued by ira general headquarters ghq which reminded the crowd that it is for the ordinary people to ireland to ensure that those who are pledged to freedom by force of arms are not misled by the politicians who are bankrupt of everything except promises the belfast newsletter 10 april 1950 evening of shooting on the evening of 24 may 1950 patrick murray and eamonn deegan had a few drinks in a local pub before going to 9 north frederick street at about 10pm in subsequent testimony and statements it transpired that the pair were in the toilet in the yard in the rear of the building examining a 38 automatic pistol deegan later said that he believed the safety catch was on when he pulled the trigger of the weapon at about 10 25pm witnesses heard the gun go off and murray was accidentally shot at close range it was reported by the irish press 25 may 1950 that there were three other young men with murray at the time of the shooting but no further information about the identities of the men besides deegan was subsequently revealed deegan admitted in a later statement that he lifted murray from the yard into the hall and then dumped the gun in a nearby laneway he claimed that he returned to try to help his friend but saw an ambulance outside and left the scene in a frenzied state miss nancy berry of 151 mount pleasant buildings in ranelagh ran an irish dance class in one of the back rooms of the building which was in progress at the time of the shooting her students heard a loud bang and came out of the room to investigate maureen mcnamara of 8 annamoe terrace in cabra saw a man murray coming from the toilet in the yard he came into her view but stepped out of view again she then saw him coming towards her again and she noticed him falling later she saw another man eamonn coming from the same direction this second man knelt down beside the man on the ground and then dragged him towards the house the evening herald 22 june 1950 the class s piano player thomas dullaghan of 13 mckee barracks found murray lying on his back and groaning in the hallway he asked murray what had happened but received no reply dullaghan telephoned for an ambulance and the garda at fitzgibbon street he also picked up one of murray s shoes which had fallen off the irish

building they found an empty cartridge case in the garden area exterior of 9 north frederick street the irish press 25 may 1950 at about 2 30am in the morning station sergeant timothy hurley of fitzgibbon street police station stated that eamonn deegan walked into the station and placed a pistol on the counter this suggests that he retrieved the firearm which he said he had dumped in a
