Nessan Quinlivan
Nessan Quinlivan (born 1965), is a former Provisional IRA member who escaped from Brixton Prison in London on 7 July 1991 along with his cellmate Pearse McAuley, while awaiting trial on charges relating to a suspected IRA plot to assassinate a former brewery company chairman, Sir Charles Tidbury. In April 1993, he was arrested in the Republic of Ireland, on firearms charges, and was sentenced to four years in prison. In November 1996, he was released from Portlaoise Prison as part of the Irish government's early release programme for republican prisoners.

In August 2009, the Crown Prosecution Service in Britain announced it wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From Limerick (city)
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility.
