Yes, Airey Neave has quite an unusual name that is of Irish origin. He was killed by an IRA bomb.


"Airey Middleton Sheffield Neave DSO, OBE, MC (23 January 1916 – 30 March 1979) was a British soldier, barrister and politician.

During World War II he was one of the few servicemen to escape from Colditz Castle. Later he became a Conservative politician sitting as Member of Parliament for Abingdon.

Neave was assassinated in 1979, in a car-bomb attack at a House of Commons carpark. The Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) claimed responsibility for his assassination."
