Article in the Irish Sunday Independent today all about him. Was at Crown Woods in the 80s apparently. Sounds like a path maker for Sinn Fein as it goes forward.
Wiki says he was privately educated at Blackrock College before Uni of East London and Queens Uni Belfast. No mention of the esteemed Crown Woods. If he did go there, it might have been as 'Ian Brown' to make spelling his name easier.
It was the mid-1980s when he took an interest in politics while attending Crown Woods Comprehensive in London after realising "the world we lived in wasn't fair". He found himself following the Troubles in Northern Ireland and trying to work out why there was so much division.

Thanks for the link - the Sindo article was behind a paywall.

Could have been worse, could have been Eltham Green!
We were the first intake to a brand new building, had to spend the first term at Haimo road school Eltham if I remember.
Ritchie Bowman was in my year.
