Galbally is a mostly Irish nationalist/republican area and is strongly linked to The Troubles. Many Provisional Irish Republican Army volunteers came from Galbally and its hinterland. One of the 1981 hungerstrikers, Martin Hurson, is from the area and is buried at St John's Church in Galbally. Also buried there are two of the Loughgall Martyrs, Declan Arthurs and Seamus Donnelly, while Tony Gormley is buried in Aughnagar. Another local Loughgall Martyr, Eugene Kelly, is buried in nearby Altmore. Martin McCaughey, who was killed at Loughgall in 1990 was laid to rest in same plot as the Loughgall Martyrs.
