Bobby Storey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert "Bobby" Storey is an Irish republican from Belfast, Northern Ireland. He helped recruit numerous Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) members (volunteers) (see Mairead Farrell).
On January 11, 2005, Ulster Unionist Member of Parliament for South Antrim David Burnside told the British House of Commons under Parliamentary privilege that Storey was head of intelligence for the Provisional IRA reporting directly to the IRA Army Council and was responsible for the Northern Bank robbery. No evidence has been publicly produced to confirm these allegations.
