Mick Murray (Irish republican)

[1] Prior to coming to work in England, Murray had a short spell in prison in Dublin for selling Easter lilies when he was a teenager.

[2] Murray worked in Birmingham as a labourer at a forgings and press factory, while living in Watt Road, Erdington.

Murray later reportedly told Paddy Hill and Johnny Walker that the phone boxes to be used had been vandalised, requiring the finding of another, some distance away.

[2] He was charged with explosives offenses jointly with Michael Sheehan and James Kelly (aka Woods).

He stayed loyal to the Provisionals following the Real IRA secession, but remained a hardliner within the organisation, strongly opposing decommissioning.
