Looking for Irish folklore Patriot, Mickey Thomas Doherty.

Mickey Thomas Doherty, born in Belfast, Ireland, August, assumed in the early 1960's. A check for his birth certificate shows he was born to the parents, Brenna Lee and Jerimiah Doherty of Belfast. However; the day, month, year and other information were redacted. A search for his Irish Passport showed that it was redacted in the late 1970's as was his exact date of birth. A search for his sister’s birth certificate shows Alice Jane Doherty born in Belfast May 1, 1953. She died in 1972 at the hands of a British soldier. His only brother Deaglan Fintan Doherty was born in Belfast September 6, 1963. He died in an explosion in Belfast, Ireland in 1978. It is believed that Mickey Doherty was the middle child. He is said to be related to a number of the Doherty clan including; Joe Doherty, Seamus Doherty, Dominic Doherty, William Doherty and Michael Doherty, all IRA members and Patriots. His alleged participation in the IRA is notably talked about in pubs and backrooms all through Ireland and places in the northeast of the USA, such as New York, Boston and Philadelphia. It was noted in Irish court papers that his alleged participation was due to the death of his sister and brother at the hands of the British. His last documented location was an immigration office in Magee, Northern Ireland, in 1979 as he departed on an outgoing fishing vessel.

Mickey Doherty’s arrival in the United States was not documented. His participation in fund raising for the IRA is documented in US Federal Marshal documents in the late 1970’s, early 1980’s and up to the release of Joe Doherty in the late 1990’s. There is only one arrest shown for Mickey Thomas Doherty and that was for cocaine smuggling in the mid 1980’s. Research, subpoenas and Freedom of Information Act Requests have gone un-answered by the federal government.

In 2003, a government source, who will remain unnamed stated that Mickey Doherty was recruited by the CIA “due to his ability to work with and control people of all cultures.” This source further stated that Doherty was like a chameleon. “He could stand next to you in a crowd and you would never know he was there unless he wanted you to know.” This source stated that “Doherty was the friendliest person he ever met. He was also cold, heartless and calculating.” The last comment from the source was that” Doherty had no aversion to taking a human life, there wasn’t a weapon or explosive that he didn’t know how to use or make.”

That government source was found dead in his vehicle in a park outside of Boston in 2004. No suspects were ever located in relation to his/her death.

In 2011, it was rumored that Mickey Doherty was seen in southern Florida with what appeared to be family members. He was also seen on several islands in the Caribbean and he was seen in Central and South America. Everyone I have contacted said they positively identified him as they knew him growing up. One of the people said he/she made contact with Doherty at a restaurant in Florida. Mickey bought his/her family their dinner, sat with them for a brief period of time and excused himself and never came back.

Sightings of Doherty and his alleged wife in Florida are rumored to becoming more frequent as if 2016, yet there are still no photos of him that have been located.
