Today.

It was noted they had specialist skills.

where they undertook to the three-judge, non-jury court to refrain from activities in the future and not associate with members of subversive or paramilitary organisations.

He said that Colin Mannion and Brian Mannion do not have any relevant or serious criminal convictions and there was evidence of “positive good character prior to these offences.”

Positive good character?? Seems unlikely.

When used by the courts, 'IRA' is a generic catch all term.
These guys are actually members of one of the dissident groups.
