Gabriel Cleary (born 1945) is a former senior engineer in the Provisional IRA. A native of Tallaght, County Dublin, he was arrested in 1987 when the French and "Irish governments intercepted a shipment of weapons from Libya." After spending five years in French prison, "Cleary was freed in 1992." He was arrested again in a raid on an underground bomb factory in County Laois in 1996; he was released from prison in 1998, as part of the Northern Ireland peace process. Cleary was the Director of Engineering on the IRA General Headquarters Staff (GHQ).
