Mary McArdle

Mary McArdle, Irish republican and former Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) member.

McArdle is the Ministerial Special Adviser to to Sinn Féin Culture Minister Carál Ní Chuilín and a former IRA member, convicted of murder in 1984. Her appointment to the position was controversial because of her conviction for the murder of Mary Travers.[1] The IRA were targeting Travers' father, Resident Magistrate Tom Travers, as he and his family left Mass. McArdle served 14 years in prison before being released early under the terms of the Belfast Agreement.

McArdle expressed remorse for the murder of Travers, calling it "a tragic mistake".[2]
