Jack —, Taoiseach of Ireland from 1977-79 (5)

I believe the answer is:

lynch

(Other definitions for lynch that I've seen before include "Hang (someone) illegally" , "Hang illegally as by mob" , "Execute mob-handed without trial" , "David __; film director" , "Hang without trial" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
