The Story Of Harry White As Related To Uinseann Mac Eoin, With Some Early Photographs, And More Recent Portraits By Colman Doyle. Story of a leading I.R.A. veteran, the man with six lives. Harry White (1916-1989) was an Irish republican paramilitary. Between 1935 and 1941 White was arrested multiple times and imprisoned in Crumlin Road Jail, Mountjoy Jail, Arbour Hill Prison and the Curragh Camp. Born in Belfast, White worked as a plumber, and joined the Irish Republican Army (IRA) at an early age, being imprisoned several times during the 1930s. He travelled to England to take part in the IRA’s “S-Plan” bombing campaign of 1939 to 1940, then returned to Dublin to pass his bomb-making skills onto new recruits, including Brendan Behan. He then returned to become the IRA’s Manchester Operations Officer but, after a bomb he was working on went off in the flat he was renting, he fled to Glasgow, then back to Ireland.
