Gino Gallagher

Gino Gallagher

Gino Gallagher was an Irish republican who was Chief of Staff of the Irish National Liberation Army. He was killed in Belfast on 30 January, 1996, while waiting in line for his unemployment benefit.

His killing followed internal disagreements over the future of the republican socialist movement. The opposing "INLA-GHQ" faction, led by former Chief of Staff Hugh Torney disbanded in September of the same year following Torney's killing.

Drug dealer Kevin McAlorum who was paid to kill Gallagher by Torney's faction was himself murdered in 2004. This was not linked to any political dispute.
