Michael Gaughan (Irish republican)
Michael Gaughan (5 October 1949 – 3 June 1974) was a Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) hunger striker who died in 1974 in Parkhurst Prison on the Isle of Wight, England.
== Background ==
Gaughan, the eldest of six children, was born in Ballina, County Mayo, in 1949. Gaughan grew up at Healy Terrace and was educated at St Muredach's College, Ballina, and after finishing his schooling, he emigrated from Ireland to England in search of work.〔(30th Anniversary of death of Michael Gaughan )〕〔''Tírghrá'', National Commemoration Centre, 2002. PB) ISBN 0-9542946-0-2 p.142〕
Whilst in London, Gaughan became a member of the Official Irish Republican Army (OIRA) through Official Sinn Féin's English wing ''Clann na hÉireann'' and became an IRA volunteer in a London-based Active Service Unit. In December 1971, he was sentenced at the Old Bailey to seven years imprisonment for his part in an IRA fundraising mission to rob a bank in Hornsey, north London, which yielded just £530, and for the possession of two revolvers.〔〔
Gaughan was initially imprisoned at Wormwood Scrubs, where he spent two years before being transferred to the top security Albany Prison on the Isle of Wight. Whilst at Albany Prison, Gaughan requested political status; this was refused, and he was then put in solitary confinement.[〕 He was later transferred to Parkhurst Prison, where four of the Belfast Ten were on hunger strike for political status.]
On 31 March 1974, Gaughan, along with current Sinn Féin MLA Gerry Kelly, Paul Holme, Hugh Feeney and fellow Mayoman Frank Stagg, went on hunger strike to support the fight of Dolours and Marion Price to obtain political status and to be transferred to a jail in Ireland. The prisoners demands were as follows.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=A History of Ireland in Song )〕
* The right to political status
* The right to wear their own clothes
* A guarantee that they would not be returned to solitary confinement
* The right to educational facilities and not engage in penal labour
* The setting of a reasonable date for a transfer to an Irish prison
