Billy Fox (politician)
Billy Fox (3 January 1939 – 12 March 1974) was an Irish politician and a member of Dáil Éireann from 1969 to 1973,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mr. Billy Fox )〕 and of Seanad Éireann from 1973 until his death in March 1974. He was shot dead by gunmen who were allegedly carrying out a raid on his girlfriend's farmhouse. Five members of the Provisional IRA were convicted of involvement in his murder.〔''Lost Lives'', McKittrick, Kelters, Feeney, Thornton & McVea, p. 426-7 – ISBN 978-1-84018-504-1〕〔(The Malcolm Sutton Index of Deaths ) states Fox was killed by the "Irish Republican Army", which, according to Sutton's categorisation, is "Provisional Irish Republican Army". (Official IRA killings are attributed to the "Official Irish Republican Army").〕 However, there have been claims that it was the Official IRA〔''The IRA'', Tim Pat Coogan, p. 357; ISBN 0-00-653155-5.〕 or the Ulster Freedom Fighters who were responsible.
==Political career==
A member of the Fine Gael party, Fox was first elected to Monaghan County Council in 1967, and as a Fine Gael Teachta Dála (TD) to the 19th Dáil for the Monaghan constituency at the 1969 general election.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Billy Fox )〕 He lost his seat at 1973 general election but later that year was elected to the 13th Seanad by the Cultural and Educational Panel. Fox was also one of a handful of members of the Oireachtas from the minority Protestant community.〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1454&dat=19740312&id=j2o0AAAAIBAJ&sjid=ZwoEAAAAIBAJ&pg=788,2454926〕
Fox came to prominence when he campaigned against the British Army's cratering of border roads and its use of CS gas and rubber bullets. On one occasion, he brought CS gas canisters and rubber bullets into the Dáil chamber and berated the Fianna Fáil Government's policy on Northern Ireland. He was forcibly removed from the Dáil and the incident made front-page news.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=RTÉ Radio 1 )〕
