Ray Smallwoods
Raymond "Ray" Smallwoods (c. 1949〔 – 11 July 1994) was a Northern Ireland politician and sometime leader of the Ulster Democratic Party. A leading member of John McMichael's South Belfast Brigade of the Ulster Defence Association (UDA), Smallwoods later served as a leading adviser to the UDA's Inner Council. He was killed by the Provisional IRA outside his Lisburn home.
==Ulster Defence Association==
Smallwoods was a native of Lisburn and, as such, was a member of the Ulster Defence Association's South Belfast brigade, which also covered the nearby town.〔 In late 1979, John McMichael, a leading figure in the UDA and also a Lisburn native, set up a commando structure within the UDA and drew up a "shopping list" of leading targets for this group to kill. Amongst the names on the list killed were Irish Independence Party member John Turnley, Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) prisoners' representative Miriam Daly and INLA and Irish Republican Socialist Party (IRSP) activists Ronnie Bunting and Noel Lyttle.〔H. McDonald & J. Cusack, ''UDA – Inside the Heart of Loyalist Terror'', Dublin, Penguin Ireland, 2004, pp. 116–117〕 On 14 January 1981, Smallwoods, an associate of McMichael, was amongst those in attendance at a meeting above McMichael's pub in which it was decided that the next target would be former Irish republican politician Bernadette McAliskey.〔McDonald & Cusack, ''UDA'', pp. 117–118〕 According to Sammy Duddy, Smallwoods was one of only nine men that McMichael used for these operations.〔Ian S. Wood, ''Crimes of Loyalty: A History of the UDA'', Edinburgh University Press, 2006, p. 119〕 Smallwoods and McMichael were close personally as well as professionally and both men and their families holidayed together on the Isle of Man.〔Gary McMichael, ''Ulster Voice: In Search of Common Ground in Northern Ireland'', Niwot Colorado: Roberts Rinehart, 1999, pp. 56–57〕
On 16 January 1981, Smallwoods participated in the attack on the Coalisland home of Michael McAliskey and his wife Bernadette, in which she was shot seven times and her husband four times. Both were seriously wounded. At the time, their house was being watched by a unit of the 3rd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, resulting in the attackers all being arrested after the shooting.〔Peter Taylor, ''Loyalists'', London: Bloomsbury, 2000, p. 168〕 As it subsequently transpired, Smallwoods had not fired any shots but had been the driver of the getaway car.〔David Lister & Hugh Jordan, ''Mad Dog: The Rise and Fall of Johnny Adair and 'C' Company'', Edinburgh: Mainstream, 2004, p. 221〕 UDA men Thomas Graham (38) and Andrew Watson (25) had been the gunmen.〔Murray, Raymond (1990). ''The SAS in Ireland''. Mercier Press. p.263〕 He was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for his involvement.〔 Following the arrests of McMichael's commando team and the leaking of the list to the press by his rival Tommy Lyttle, the "shopping list" was abandoned.〔McDonald & Cusack, ''UDA'', p. 118〕
