The 'Official' IRA of the 30's to 50's were a different movement, the remnants of the anti-treaty forces in the civil war.The border campaign in the 1950's was suppressed more in the South than in the North, but in the late 60's members of the government in the South were supporting the IRA - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arms_Crisis . | |
