Abstract
This chapter evaluates the security threat and military capabilities of armed dissident republican groups. More specifically, it explores the current nature of the military campaign, and how (if at all possible), these tactics are justified by organisations such as Óglaigh na hÉireann (ONH), Continuity IRA (CIRA) and Real (RIRA) Militant republican groups that continue to advocate the legitimacy of armed struggle operate far below the capabilities of the PIRA, but have developed a limited campaign of violence where attacks are localised and targets are more specific. This chapter will focus on the origins and strategies of various armed republican factions that emerged before and after the GFA. Analysis will focus on the nature of the threat posed by dissidents as well as the perception of this threat and the repercussions this may have for community relations. Critical evaluation will also be given to the historical relevance of armed struggle within the republican tradition.
