Seán Mac Stíofáin (1928-2001) was an IRA commander, a founding member of the Provisional IRA and its first chief of staff. He was born John Stephenson in London, the son of Protestant parents. Stephenson claimed Irish ancestry on his mother’s side, though the validity of this is uncertain. He left school at 16, working as a labourer and converting to Catholicism. Stephenson also served in the Royal Air Force during World War II, working as a storeman. After the war, Stephenson became involved and obsessed with Irish Republicanism. He joined the Irish Republican Army (IRA) in 1949 and helped organise an IRA unit in London. In 1953, Stephenson led a raid that stole rifles and mortars from a cadet school armoury in Essex. He was stopped randomly by police, arrested and sentenced to eight years in prison. Stephenson served more than three years behind bars, using this time to learn Irish Gaelic. Released in 1956, he married an Irish woman, moved to Dublin and changed his name to Seán Mac Stíofáin (the Gaelic form of his birth name). Mac Stíofáin gradually ascended through the ranks of the IRA, becoming its director of intelligence. The outbreak of the Troubles in 1969 opened up divisions in the IRA over strategy and tactics. While Cathal Goulding and other leaders wanted to use violence carefully, Mac Stíofáin and his supporters urged open warfare with the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC). In August 1969, Mac Stíofáin led a raid on the RUC station at Crossmaglen, in defiance of IRA orders. In December, Mac Stíofáin and four others formed a Provisional Army Council. This splinter group became the nucleus of the Provisional IRA. Mac Stíofáin became the Provisional IRA’s first chief of staff. He also oversaw its rearming and the escalation of its military campaign in Northern Ireland. In July 1972, Mac Stíofáin represented the Provisional IRA in secret talks with the British government in London. When these talks collapsed he ordered an increase in Provisional IRA operations, beginning with the mass bombing of Belfast on July 21st 1972. Mac Stíofáin remained in charge until November 1972, when a controversial television interview led to his arrest, imprisonment and removal from the Provisional IRA leadership. Mac Stíofáin was released the following year but was no longer prominent in the Provisional IRA. He spent the rest of the 1970s working for a Sinn Fein newspaper. Mac Stíofáin died in May 2001.

I read the book you recommended a couple of years ago by Ed Moloney, you were right it's a great read probably the best on the subject yet written. I can't help but conclude Tyronne came in for special treatment and that human intelligence played a continued part from 87 onwards. I doubt it was a large number of well-placed sources more likely just one or two who remained in place. I don't really buy the Peter Taylor line about the informant being part of the Loughgall team I suspect that was disinformation designed to confuse. My guess would be the informant(s) was high up the chain of command and not necessarily based in Tyronne. Oh, and I can't see why it should be Stakeknife as he shouldn't have known the details of forthcoming ops.

I’m Irish and I live in Canada. I just want to point out Britain colonized most of the world and tortured and slaved many different peoples. Ireland was constantly targeted by Britain and the people were their peasants. Everyone thinks Ireland was wrong for rebelling against Britain, the winners of the war tell the story. Irish people defended themselves from people who tried to harm them, Britain won that’s why everyone looks at Britain’s as the good guys, because Britain told the story. My dad moved to Canada at 5 because of the troubles in Northern Ireland particularly British soldiers killing civilians. It’s messed up open your eyes.

@Paddy234 9 ай бұрын

No-one thinks Ireland was wrong for rebelling against Britain. When have you EVER heard anyone defend Britain in Ireland? The very reason British people are not taught Irish history at all to the point of almost censorship is because of their shame of what occurred. They don't even remember a war that killed more British forces than Iraq and Afghanistan combined because they wish to forget it and move on. I've been to many countries and every people i met who knew about the struggle for Irish independence all supported the IRA and despised Britain for it's savagery.

Republicans and nationalists realised 30 years ago that the strategy outlined by the likes of this man had failed. Now Unionists must do the same. They must come to the painful reality that the republican movement outflanked them, out thought them, out manoeuvred them and have essentially destroyed the unionist position via the power of reality over any gun. And that reality is the utterly untenable, economically defunct, and morally bankrupt position that the British Government finds itself in by continuing to maintain Northern Ireland as part of the UK. And in my opinion, the UK government has been of this opinion since at least the 1980’s. A united Ireland is inevitable. But it won’t happen for at least another 10 or 20 years. These things move slowly. This is the “long war” after all. In that time I hope that republicans continue on the road map they set in the mid-90’s and 1:47 continue to treat unionists with respect and the culture to which they hold dear.

Do you think that the way one looks or what one's name is or how one speaks has any bearing whatsoever on what that person believes in or is capable of doing? (it's a rhetorical question btw).

@@mrjcfpants Born in England, his only claim to Irishness lay in the fact that his great-grandmother (!) was Irish. His father was English and his mother was from Bethnal Green. He then changed his name to make it sound "Irish". Cathal Goulding remarked upon him: "Sean's problem,' he once told me, 'is that he spends all his time going around trying to prove to everybody that he's as Irish as they are, and in the IRA he had to show that he was more VIOLENT than the rest. He (...) believes physical force is the only answer." And to think that such a man was the kingpin of the IRA... No, such "converts", such wannabes give me the creeps.

@@iansoutryer3189 Can I ask what I myself would be according to your view of McStiofan as a supposed plastic Irishman / cardboard republican. I was born in London to an Irish mum and English dad, moved to Ireland when I was a wee boy living with my republican Granda and Irish speaking Granny and have lived in a nationalist area in the North after that up until today which has shaped my viewpoint and life. I always thought Sean was what's called London Irish - in that he had parents or one parent directly from Ireland, a bit like Shane McGowan from the pogues and not a great grandmother as you say? There were alot of men and women involved in the 1916 Easter rising who were born in England, Wales & Scotland none of them were "creeps wanna bes or converts" as you put it as they faught and died for what they and I believe in 👍✌️
