		Cahill was one of a gang assigned to distract police attention by opening fire on a patrol.
		Cahill was elected to its first army council and soon afterwards took over as the IRA commander in Belfast, where he initiated a campaign of violence, prompting the authorities to plan the introduction of internment without trial in the belief that it would curb, if not crush, the new Provos.
		An Irish MP met Cahill at a house in Dublin in a last-ditch bid to save a further ceasefire, but during the conversation Cahill, clearly forewarned, interrupted the pleading and turned on the television news, where first reports of the Bloody Friday bombings, which left 11 dead in 26 explosions, were coming in.

		Joe Cahill, who died in Belfast on Friday aged 84, was for 60 years one of the IRA's most fanatical and murderous operators; indeed in the 1960s he became so disgusted by a relatively peaceful phase in that organisation's politics that he helped found the Provisional IRA to keep up the work of slaughter.
		Joe Cahill was born in Belfast in 1920 into a family given to regular attendance at mass and extreme republican politics.
		At the IRA Convention of 1997, Cahill assured delegates that he would not settle for anything less than a 32-county socialist republic, and was heavily defeated in elections to the Executive.

		Although Cahill, perhaps due to a brief spell of imprisonment in Dublin under the Offences Against The State Act and a subsequent hunger strike, was not at these talks, he twice met with Harold Wilson and Merlyn Rees of the British Labour Party in 1972 as part of an IRA delegation.
		Joe Cahill was described by Gerry Adams as ‘the father of this generation of republicans.' This is not a view shared by all those who were contemporaries of the former Crumlin Road Prison condemned cell prisoner.
		A year ago Joe Cahill made the extraordinary comment that the IRA had won the war, leaving his colleagues looking awkward when subsequently pushed by media interviewers to state if the war was indeed won then why could they not say it was over.
