Tara

A Loyalist paramilitary group founded in 1966 by William McGrath. The group promoted a religious brand of anti-Catholicism. Tara is believed to have acquired weapons and was also believed to have been infiltrated by members of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF). McGrath, a homosexual, had been appointed the housemaster of Kincora Boys Home in Belfast. He and two other staff members at the home were charged on 3 April 1980 with acts of gross indecency against the boys in their care. All three were later convicted of the offences.
