I am going to rename this article to Sean Hughes (Irish republican) in line with the naming of other republicans and in order to stop confusion with other types of republicans. Would anyone object? Vintagekits 18:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
The article as it stands makes no attempt at being neutral, it's solely designed to disparage and smear the subject based on unsubstantiated tabloid rumours that the tabloid itself isn't certain of, and libellous allegations made by Unionist politicans under Parliamentary privilege. He's never been convicted of any of the alleged offences, this article cannot stand at it is as it's a gross violation of WP:BLP. One Night In Hackney 303 08:39, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
How old is this guy? When was his date of birth? It should be in court/arrest records.
Is this the same Sean Hughes arrested in Le Havre, France with two submachine guns, 12 rifles, 23 revolvers and thousands of rounds of ammunition, alone with another Irishman and American writer William W. Norton and his wife Elanor Norton in June of 1986? > Best O Fortuna ( talk) 10:20, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

The only "notable" (and I use that word under caution) ones are this one and Sean 'Bap' Hughes, who was actually in the Irish National Liberation Army not the IRA. Bap was the person involved in the French arms smuggling case, and was later involved in this trial, about which a reasonable amount seems to have been written. The French case was covered in a reasonable level of detail in the book Gunrunnners by Sean Boyne, although I'd better add the qualifier that the book erroneously thought Norton had died in the early 90s. I wouldn't really recommend an article on Bap, but I also object to the continued existence of this article to be honest. 2 lines of K 303 13:50, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
