Hugh Feeney

Hugh Feeney

Hugh Feeney (born 1951) was a volunteer of the Provisional Irish Republican Army who, together with Dolours and Marion Price, organised the attempted car bombings of the Old Bailey and Scotland Yard on March 8, 1973. He and ten members of his 11-man active service unit (ASU) were apprehended attempting to board a flight to Ireland shortly after the bombs were discovered.

Feeney was convicted on November 14 1973 and sentenced to life imprisonment for each of the four bombing charges against him which were to run concurrently. The other members of his group were sentenced to life imprisonment as well as an additional twenty years.
