	Provisional Irish Republican Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While the Officials were initially the larger organisation and enjoyed more support from the republican constituency, the Provisionals came to dominate, especially after the Official IRA declared an indefinite ceasefire in 1972.
		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.
		In rural areas such as South Armagh, the IRA units most effective weapon was the "culvert-bomb" - where explosives were planted under drains in country roads.

		Photograph: David Jones/PA The final piece of the 2005 general election jigsaw falls into place today, as voters in Staffordshire South go to the polls to elect their new MP - seven weeks behind the rest of the country.
		The postponement of the May 5 vote was caused by the death of the original Liberal Democrat candidate, Jo Harrison, during the campaign.
		For the first time in over 50 years, the election in a particular constituency was thus delayed, meaning that this is not technically a byelection but the final result of the general election.

		THE Conservatives started preparing for defeat in South East Staffordshire yesterday on the eve of a by-election which Labour believes will bring closer the prospect of a general election.

		However party strategists argue the most comparable parallel is the Langbaugh by-election in the closing months of the last Parliament where Labour won a similar Tory constituency by only 2,000 votes.
