Seamus Grew

Seamus Grew (July 1951 – 12 December 1982) was a volunteer in the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) who, along with Roddy Carroll, was killed in controversial circumstances by police officers from the Special Support Unit E4A of the Royal Ulster Constabulary.

It is alleged that this was part of an attempt to kill the INLA Chief of Staff Dominic McGlinchey,[1] although it is highly likely both men were the intended targets.

Each subsequent attempt at commencing coronial proceedings has been met with apparent state delays and obstacles.

Grew was born into a Catholic family in Armagh, known for its involvement with Civil Rights and Irish republicanism.

It is alleged that when he was killed, he was a Commander within his organisation, and was in charge of military operations for the Irish National Liberation Army in Northern Ireland.
