Can anyone help with information about a strike leader?

Contributed

In February 1939 there was an unofficial strike by bricklayers and labourers at the North Lochside council house scheme.

One of the strike leaders was Pat Darcy. I would like to know where he came from, and what happened to him afterwards.

I understand that he may have come back to Shetland after World War 2.
Can anyone help?
