Patrick McCarry (1875 – 18 July 1921) was an Irish republican activist who was assassinated. Born in Murlough in County Antrim, McCarry worked as a farmer and became active in the Gaelic League. He joined the Irish Volunteers in 1914, then the Irish Republican Army during the Irish War of Independence.[1] At the 1918 UK general election, McCarry stood for Sinn Féin in North Antrim, taking 21.7% of the vote against a single opponent, the Irish Unionist Peter Kerr-Smiley.[2] McCarry served as a local magistrate and, as such, regularly visited the local police station. In July 1921, when he arrived, he was shot dead by a recently recruited member of the B Specials.[2] References1. ^J.
