Billy Fox Politician

Billy Fox (3 January 1939 – 12 March 1974) was an Irish politician and a member of Dáil Éireann from 1969 to 1973, and of Seanad Éireann from 1973 until his death in March 1974. He was shot dead by gunmen who were allegedly carrying out a raid on his girlfriend's farmhouse. Five members of the Provisional IRA were convicted of involvement in his murder. However, there have been claims that it was the Official IRA or the Ulster Freedom Fighters who were responsible.
