	Provisional Irish Republican Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the Provisional IRA had a political wing (Provisional Sinn Féin, which split with Official Sinn Féin at the same time as the split in the IRA), the early Provisional IRA was extremely suspicious of political activity, arguing rather for the primacy of armed struggle.
		The PIRA is described as a terrorist organisation by the governments of the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Spain, Germany and Italy, the latter three of which have alleged the existence of IRA links with terrorist organisations within their own jurisdictions including ETA and the Red Brigades.

	Magnifisyncopathological: A Threat Analysis of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The PIRA is a paramilitary organization that splintered from the "official" Irish Republican Army in 1969 over a disagreement on how to pursue the goal of a united Irish republic that encompassed the entire island.
		The nationalist republicans tend to be Roman Catholic and the unionist loyalists tend to be Protestant.
		As long as PIRA keeps its word regarding weapons decommissioning and adherence to political processes over violence, unionists refrain from initiating hostilities, and the success of community-based restorative justice programs continue (Mika and McEvoy, 2001), I see the Provisional Irish Republican Army threat diminishing steadily into the future.

	The Continuity IRA
		At the 1986 Sinn Fein Ard Fheis (annual party conference) it was decided to discontinue the party's long held policy of abstention from the Dail but this decision was rejected by a minority of members who walked out of the conference to form a new political party--Republican Sinn Fein--and a new paramilitary group: the CIRA.
