Wikipedia wrote:In 1973, he was convicted by the Republic of Ireland's Special Criminal Court, after being caught with a car containing 250 lb (113 kg) of explosives and nearly 5,000 rounds of ammunition. He refused to recognise the court, and was sentenced to six months imprisonment.


He was also convicted, sentenced and spent time in prison for being a member of the IRA.

The Wiki-report was for the Republic..., was "your" conviction related to the UK ? ..., Iain.

We know who he was, so what about the other side of the coin, the one with the Queens head on it ?
