Owen Carron Biography

Owen Carron is one of the most popular and richest Teacher who was born on February 9, 1953 in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. Owen Gerard Carron (born 9 February 1953) is an Irish republican political activist who was a Member of the Parliament (MP) from Fermanagh as well as South Tyrone from 1981 to 1983.

Carron as well as Danny Morrison, was arrested on January 21, 1982, while trying to get into in the United States illegally from Canada via a car. He was deported and the two men were found guilty for making deceitful and fraudulent declarations to American immigration authorities.

In 1986, an AK47 rifle was found in a car in which Carron was travelling. He was charged, but granted bail to contest the 1986 Fermanagh and South Tyrone by-election. He lost the election, skipped bail and moved to County Leitrim in the Republic of Ireland. He was arrested in 1988 in the Republic, and held in custody for two-and-a-half years while extradition procedures initiated by the British government took place. These procedures were unsuccessful when it was found by the Irish Supreme Court that possession of an automatic rifle constituted a ‘political offence’, thus prohibiting his extradition under Irish law. Following Carron’s release he worked as a builder before returning to teaching in 1995, and later became the principal of the national school in Carrigallen.

In 2002, his name was reported as having been submitted to the British government by Sinn Féin on a list of IRA members to be granted amnesties.

Carron is Bobby Sands’ election agent for the April 1981 Fermanagh and South Tyrone by-election. Sands was an ex-presidential candidate and a Republican prisoner who was on hunger strike was the winner however he passed away shortly following the election. Election law changes following the passing by the Representation of People Act of 1981 prevented the possibility of nominate a different prisoner, and so Carron became”the “Anti H-Block/Proxy Political Prisoner”.

Carron is a native of Enniskillen, County Fermanagh. He became an educator during the 70s. He is the cousin of the late Nationalist Party politician John Carron.

Carron was elected in the August by-election with an increased majority but with fewer votes, becoming the youngest MP at the time. Like most other Irish republicans elected to the British Parliament, he was an abstentionist. He never made a secret of his support for Sinn Féin; confirmation of this came when he was elected to the Northern Ireland Assembly in October 1982 as a Sinn Féin candidate. At the 1983 general election he stood again, this time officially for Sinn Féin, but owing to the nomination of a candidate by the Social Democratic and Labour Party, the nationalist vote in the constituency was seriously split, and Carron lost the seat to Ken Maginnis of the Ulster Unionist Party.
