Seán Mac Stíofáin
Seán Mac Stíofáin (17 February 1928 – 18 May 2001) was an Irish republican paramilitary activist born in London, who became associated with the republican movement in Ireland after serving in the Royal Air Force. He was the first chief of staff of the Provisional IRA, a position he held between 1969 and 1972.
==Childhood==
Although he used the Gaelicised version of name in later life, Mac Stíofáin was born as John Edward Drayton Stephenson in Leytonstone, London in 1928. An only child, his father was an English solicitor's clerk, his mother was of Protestant Irish descent born in East Belfast.〔Mac Stíofáin being an Irish Republican from a second/third generation is nothing unusual in Irish Republicanism. See October 2004 ''Fortnight Magazine'' book review of "Choosing The Green? Second Generation Irish and the Cause of Ireland" by Brian Dooley (here ).〕 He stated his mother had left an impression on him at the age of seven with her instruction: "I'm Irish, therefore you're Irish....Don't forget it".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sean MacStiofain: Londoner who led the IRA )〕
His childhood was marred by his alcoholic, wife-beating father. His mother, who doted over her son, died when Mac Stíofáin was only 10. Mac Stíofáin attended Catholic schools, where he came into contact with pro-Sinn Féin Irish students.
He left school in 1944 at the age of 16 and worked in the building trade before being conscripted into the RAF to do his national service in 1945. He attained the rank of corporal. After leaving the RAF, he returned to London where he became increasingly involved with Irish organisations in Britain. He first joined Conradh na Gaeilge, then the Irish Anti-Partition League, bought (and later sold) the ''United Irishman'', joined Sinn Féin in London and eventually in 1949 helped to organise a unit of the IRA. He first met his wife, Máire, who was from Castletownroche, County Cork, Ireland. Mac Stíofáin then began work for British Rail.
