Actually, those are what's called break away group's, but they are in essence the same thing. It basically is another name used to keep the main group ( IRA ) out of the lime light, don't get me wrong though, they are a different group, but they belong to the same "gang". For example, the IRA want to do a shooting that's going to make big headline's, the PIRA carry it out then claim it was them because most people are going to assume it was the IRA. That's how thing's work here mate.
I live in Bangor
What i'm saying is that IF and its only an IF the IRA wanted 'things' done the so called break away groups could still do them as the IRA can deny it has anything to do with them.
Anyhooo its the Loyalists at the minute and the UVF LVF feud. Seems a bit of a coincidence to me that the IRA statement come out just when the loyalists are kicking off, maybe they are trying to score brownie points?
