From 2011 to 2017, he served as the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland. Early life and educationMcGrory was born in 1959 in Belfast, Northern Ireland.[1][2] He was one of four children and the only son of P.J. and Phyllis McGrory. His father was "one of Northern Ireland's best known criminal lawyers".[3] He studied ancient history and Celtic studies at Queen's University Belfast, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1983.[3] Legal careerMcGrory's legal career has been spent in criminal law. In 1987, he qualified as a solicitor.[4] He served as Chairman of the Solicitor's Criminal Bar Association for 1990.[4] In 2007, he was made a Queen's Counsel (QC); he was the first Northern Irish solicitor to be made a QC.[5] In 2009, he was called to the bar, thereby becoming a barrister.[6] During his private practice, he represented a wide range of clients, including Martin McGuinness, Gerry Adams, loyalist paramilitaries, Unionist politicians and former police officers.[7][8] In November 2011, McGrory was appointed the Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland (DPP).[11] He is the first Roman Catholic to hold the post.[7] On 17 May 2017, he announced that he would be stepping down as DPP when his term in office ends in September 2017.[9] McGrory has denied that his resignation is related to escalating allegations of bias by senior UK politicians and others, who have accused his office of prioritising prosecutions of former British soldiers for their actions during the Troubles. He was quoted as saying he regretted the legacy issue had become part of the story of his tenure and wished the mechanisms were in place to deal with the past and investigations into Troubles cases.[1] Personal lifeMcGrory is a Roman Catholic.[10] He is married to Brigid O'Neill, an ecologist and musician.[11] They have two children.[6][11] References1. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.irishlegal.com/7307/barry-mcgrory-qc-to-step-down-as-director-of-public-prosecutions|date=17 May 2017|accessdate=17 May 2017|title=Barra McGrory QC to step down as Director of Public Prosecutions|website=Irish Legal News}} {{s-start}}{{s-legal}}{{s-bef|before= Sir Alasdair Fraser }}{{s-ttl|title= Director of Public Prosecutions for Northern Ireland |years= 2011 to 2017 }}{{s-aft|after= Stephen Herron }}{{s-end}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:McGrory, Barra}}2. ^{{cite web |last1=Reyes |first1=Eduardo |title=Troubled waters - interview with Barra McGrory QC |url=https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/people/troubled-waters-interview-with-barra-mcgrory-qc/5064430.article |website=Law Society Gazette |accessdate=16 October 2018 |language=en |date=22 January 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Public Service & Religion|url=https://daro.qub.ac.uk/Religion|website=Development & Alumni Relations Office|publisher=Queen's University Belfast|accessdate=17 May 2017}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|title=New Director of Public Prosecutions For Northern Ireland Appointed|url=http://www.ppsni.gov.uk/SiteDocuments/PPS%20Press%20Office/New%20Director%20of%20Public%20Prosecutions%20For%20Northern%20Ireland%20Appointed.pdf|website=Public Prosecution Service for Northern Ireland|accessdate=17 May 2017|format=pdf|date=7 November 2011}} 5. ^{{cite journal|title=President’s Message|journal=The Writ|date=June 2007|issue=184|pages=1–4|url=https://www.lawsoc-ni.org/DatabaseDocs/med_3114192__writmayjune07.pdf|accessdate=17 May 2017|publisher=The Law Society of Northern Ireland}} 6. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Barra McGrory QC becomes new director of PPS|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-15621771|website=BBC News|accessdate=17 May 2017|date=7 November 2011}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Kearney|first1=Vincent|title=Top NI prosecutor Barra McGrory confirms resignation|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-39940849|website=BBC News|accessdate=17 May 2017|date=17 May 2017}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-39573536|title=Stakeknife: Spy linked to 18 murders, BBC Panorama finds|publisher=Bbc.co.uk|accessdate=12 April 2017}} 9. ^{{cite news|last1=Bell|first1=Jonny|title=Criticism nothing to do with decision to quit, says PPS chief Barra McGrory|url=http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/criticism-nothing-to-do-with-decision-to-quit-says-pps-chief-barra-mcgrory-35724112.html|accessdate=17 May 2017|work=Belfast Telegraph|date=17 May 2017}} 10. ^1 {{cite news|title=Barra McGrory: Northern Ireland's Director of Public Prosecutions 'to step down later this year'|url=http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/barra-mcgrory-northern-irelands-director-of-public-prosecutions-to-step-down-later-this-year-35722379.html|accessdate=17 May 2017|work=Belfast Tlegraph|date=15 May 2017}} 11. ^1 {{cite news|last1=Moriarty|first1=Gerry|title=Revolutionary appointment reflects 'transformation' in Northern society|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/news/revolutionary-appointment-reflects-transformation-in-northern-society-1.6932|accessdate=17 May 2017|work=The Irish Time|date=3 December 2011}} 6 : Living people|Solicitors from Northern Ireland|Northern Ireland Queen's Counsel|Barristers from Northern Ireland|Alumni of Queen's University Belfast|1959 births |
