Tony McCaul
The tragic death occurred last month in Newry of Tony ``Snowball''
McCaul. Tony was a dedicated republican who was committed to the
present phase of the struggle. He met his untimely death as the
result of a motorcycle accident on the Warrenpoint Road near his
home. A friend with him was also seriously injured.
Tony's family and his friends in the Republican Movement in Newry
were shocked and saddened when they heard of his sudden and
accidental death.
Aged 26, he was a member of the John Mitchel Newry Martyrs
Cumann. He was always willing to play his part in all cumann
activities with complete disregard of the constant RUC and
British army harassment which he and his comrades suffered daily.
He was a dedicated activist who formed the backbone of a cumann
which has grown in membership and activity over the last number
of years.
Tony was also a founder member of the ``Laochra na hEireann'' Flute
Band in Newry, a role he enjoyed immensely and he took part in
any commemoration or band parade in which his band participated.
The Republican Movement in Newry deeply regrets his sudden death
and offers sincerest condolences to his family.
