Dugdale also involved in 1974 art heist and attack on police station using hijacked helicopter
Rose Dugdale, an English heiress turned IRA militant and bomb maker, has died in a Dublin nursing home aged 83.
The stolen art, belonging to Sir Alfred Beit, included works by Johannes Vermeer, Francisco Goya, Thomas Gainsborough and Peter Paul Rubens. During her trial, Dugdale declared herself “proudly and incorruptibly guilty” of offences against the state and described Britain as “the filthy enemy”. In 1975, Gallagher and an accomplice kidnapped a Dutch businessman, Tiede Heremma, and demanded the release of Dugdale and other IRA prisoners.
