On 4 October 1975 Tiede Herrema was abducted near his home by two volunteers of the Irish Republican Army, Eddie Gallagher and Marion Coyle. They demanded the release of three IRA prisoners, including Rose Dugdale.

After a massive operation, they were eventually traced to a house in Monasterevin, County Kildare, a fortnight later. After a further two week long siege, Dr Herrema was released, shaken but unharmed. He left Ireland soon after.
