Remembering Sinn Féin activist Colm Mulgrew who died for Ireland, 5 June 1976 - 50 years ago today. He was murdered by a UDA death squad aligned with the state.

Columba James Mulgrew, better known as Colm, was born in Killybearn, Cookstown, Co. Tyrone on 8 January 1950.

At 7:55pm on 5 June 1976 death squad arrived at his home and shot him three times.

Colm was not initially claimed as a Republican activist in the tense environment of the time. He is buried a short distance away from the New Republican Plot in Milltown Cemetery.

@F0M0RIAN @DanielLoftusSF Sinn Féin are only half hearted in doing so, surely you want someone committed to the bit?

[Republican Memorial Tributes 32 @Tributes32]

@RobLooseCannon @RobLooseCannon the executed figure is 81-2: 77 Republicans officially recognized, and two each in Galway and Mullingar who initially weren't. And a British soldier shot for selling arms to the IRA in Cork
