LIAM Johnson was a republican activist for most of his adult life.
Born in Greencastle, north Belfast in 1941, he went to St Malachy’s College on the Antrim Road.
When he left school he went to work in an accountant’s firm in May Street before branching out on his own when he was about 25.
The 1960s were turbulent years with an increasing focus on the discriminatory nature of the northern state.
1966 also witnessed the popular upsurge in republicanism arising from the 50th anniversary of the 1916 Rising.
Liam had a great grá for the United Irish Society. He read any books written about the period and later, when he worked for Sinn Féin in the assembly, he brought with him paintings of United Irish leaders he admired to put on his wall.
