The 1975 IRA Provo-Stickie feud which left 11 dead and scarred Belfast
Published 8 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
This year sees the 50th anniversary of one of the bloodiest feuds between the Provisional and Official IRA. Described as the worst inter-republican fighting since the Irish Civil War, October and November 1975 saw the Provisional and Official IRA battle it out in Belfast.
It left 11 dead, including a 6-year-old Eileen Kelly, and around 50 wounded, and also left deep scars in Belfast’s nationalist communities.
Ciarán Dunbar is joined by historian Brian Hanley.
