Vol Ed O'Brien was a member of the Irish Republican Army, who was killed on Active Service on 18th February 1996.
He was originally from Gorey in County Wexford, a county which produced such great republicans as James Parle, John Creane and Patrick Hogan. As a young man he was a promising gaelic sports enthusiast and boxer. After joining the IRA in 1992 he became active in an Active Service Unit based in England.
While carrying an explosive device in London in February 1996, a tragic accident happened and it exploded, killing brave Edward.
It happened just nine days after the Docklands bombing operation in London.
Ed is buried in St. Michael's Cemetery in Gorey
Rest In Peace Comrade
