🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Martin McGartland
While the Troubles escalated, republican areas like Ballymurphy came increasingly under the control of the local Provisional IRA who, in the absence of any normal policing, took on policing functions. Their methods were not met with approval from all residents. One of the effects of the continuous rioting and the campaign of shootings and bombings in Belfast and all around Northern Ireland was to make Martin grow up fast. Martin described his childhood in West Belfast as one where he would join with the older boys in throwing stones to goad the British Army. He’d also join in with the other Catholic youths to fight against Ulster Protestant boys from loyalist estates nearby; this mainly involved throwing stones at one another.
