Product Information

The UDA's brigade commander in North Belfast, Mr. David Payne, saved the Jolly Roger Club in Alliance Avenue from serious damage on Saturday night when he carried a bomb clear.

Hugh was hit and then another gunman came up and fired more rounds into his body as he was lying on the ground. A FORMER member of the RUC has spoken publicly for the first time about how his two brothers were killed during the Troubles - one by a notorious loyalist killer and the other by the IRA. Dessie McCormac joined the RUC in 1971 and served until 2001 when the force was disbanded and replaced with the PSNI. It has been claimed the Calderwood also works with a football team in the area and had rebuilt his good reputation among the players young enough not to know of his crime.

A taxi driver took him into the Shankill and give him to the likes of Oso and said 'Do what you want with him'. Oso was sent to the Maze and he served 16-years for that," recalled Ms Graham. You may or may not be acquainted with the name, Alex Calderwood, but you will most certainly have either lived or heard of the Troubles that terrorised the neighbourhoods of Northern Ireland. From their beginning in 1969, until the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, and beyond, all Northern Irish people have a story to tell - and it's not a pretty one. These are stories of pain and anguish, of lives lost; lives still emphasised by empty chairs in the homes of loved ones.

Moloney’s note about 72 murders committed by the UDA is relevant to this article. Adair’s UDA never carried out anything like that many killings in such a condensed period of time. And his unit perhaps did not have anyone like Payne in it.the UDA was soon wading in blood and that … when the GEN 47 committee convened in London, the UDA had been responsible for just 4 deaths (including two UDA men killed by their own bomb). And because of a policy never to claim killings, unlike the IRA which invariably admitted its violence, it was never clear when the UDA had murdered people. The following year the UDA killed 72 people – one every five days and the reality that lay behind this particular ‘civil defence’ group was bloodily apparent. McClinton was jailed for two murders; a politically uninvolved Catholic civilian, and a Protestant bus driver. Neither killing had any effect on “the IRA rebellion.” Why would they? Brandon Sullivan✒✍ delves into the activities ofJohn White, Davy Payne, Kenny McClinton: C Company in the early 1970s.Ⅱ The hotelier, who described himself as a cultural engineer, opened the first Ace in Seattle in 1999, breaking several accepted hospitality rules with its budget shared-bathroom rooms next to luxury suites, vintage furniture and artfully relaxed style the hotel aimed to capture both ends of the market. But because Calderwood, a former Christian youth worker who had once earned a living in Manchester, was out on licence he had to be returned to Maghaberry prison in Co Antrim to serve out the remainder of his sentence for murder.

Mr McCormac later tells how his brother Hugh, a sergeant in the RUC training centre, was shot dead by the IRA as he attended Mass at St Gabriel's Monastery near Enniskillen with his wife and three children. In Calderwood’s defence, Robert Gray said : “There is real evidence that he only became involved at the very last moment. He got involved as a result of manipulation by others.”Calderwood, Trent and Willis all lodged above the pub while father-of-three Grogan lived at Belle Vue Gardens, Southbourne. He saw what you could do with material that nobody else wanted," Shah said. "He always had a desire to come up with something new that gave consumers value for their money. He was an entrepreneur and knew how to entertain, but more than that, he was always willing to talk about what the new thing was." Described as a hospitality pioneer who created artsy, unusual hotels that catered for image-conscious "scenesters", Calderwood opened his latest in Shoreditch six weeks ago, saying it was "derived and driven by east London". Age sixty, Alex (Oso) Calderwood lives in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Alex faithfully serves his church and community. He can often be found in the Olive Branch Café. He is part of a large family of four sisters and three brothers. His only daughter, will soon graduate from university.
