Dissident republican

The term dissident republican or anti-ceasefire republican[1] is used to describe Irish republicans who do not support the current peace agreements in Ireland. Some dispute the validity of both parliaments on the island (the Northern Ireland Assembly and Dáil Éireann, both police forces (the PSNI and the Garda Síochána). A number of them, such as Republican Sinn Féin (not to be confused with Sinn Féin) and the 32 County Sovereignty Movement, fully support the use of physical force, are often associated with armed campaigns and are currently involved in the Dissident Irish Republican Campaign 1998 - Present. However, other groups such as éirígí and the Republican Network for Unity advocate peaceful and democratic means of opposing the Good Friday Agreement and have been highly critical of certain Real IRA and Continuity IRA actions.
