Eamonn Melaugh
Eamonn Melaugh (born 4 July 1933) is an Irish socialist, political campaigner and activist from Derry, Northern Ireland.
He helped found the Derry Housing Action Committee (DHAC)[1][2] and the Derry Unemployment Action Committee (DUAC)[3] which campaigned for jobs and housing for Derry Catholics.
As a result, Melaugh and the DHAC became involved with the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association in the late 1960s.[4] He later contributed evidence to the Bloody Sunday Inquiry.[5]
He is an active member of the Workers' Party,[6] and has stood as a candidate for it and its predecessor, Republican Clubs/Official Sinn Féin, in the Foyle constituency.[7][8]
Personal life
Melaugh married Mary McLaughlin in 1956; the couple had 11 children, 4 daughters and 7 sons.[9] One son, Martin, curates the University of Ulster's CAIN website. His nephew is the comedian and TV presenter Andrew Doyle.[10]
