11th March 1974: 'Anti-IRA spies' break out of jail
Two self-proclaimed British Government spies have escaped from a top-security prison in Ireland where they were serving sentences for armed robbery.
It is another embarrassment for the authorities at Mountjoy Prison in Dublin coming just five months after a helicopter plucked three leading IRA members from Mountjoy's exercise yard.
The latest escapees, brothers Kenneth and Keith Littlejohn, were jailed last year for a £67,000 robbery at a Dublin bank - the biggest to date in Irish history.
During their trial the Littlejohns claimed they were working for the British Government against the IRA. ...Last edited by Grimster; 22-04-2021, 08:42 PM. -

NIVA Annual Service of Remembrance 2019
This will be held on Saturday 14th September. All are welcome.
Most of you will be aware that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the deployment of Operation Banner.
We embrace this commemoration within our Annual Service of Remembrance and to mark that, we will be laying some 2000 Poppy crosses each bearing the names and unit of each of the Fallen; they will be laid in Regimental lines close to the Ulster Memorial. The sacrifice of those members of the civilian services, Police, Prison Officers, CSU and others, will marked by Poppy crosses laid in their respective unit lines.
