Gardaí Plan Crackdown On Dissident Republicans
In the wake of the paramilitary style funeral, and volley of shots fired, of Alan Ryan, Gardaí plan to launch a crackdown on dissident republicans.
A series of garda raids on the homes of dissidents in several counties is being organised, as officers build up evidence against those believed to have been involved in the show of arms outside the Ryan family home on the northside of Dublin.
Paramilitary activity could not be tolerated on the streets of the capital and where people were identified as having committed a criminal offence, they would be "brought to book", Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan told the Irish Independent yesterday.
The newspaper also reported that Gardai disclosed that a dossier of fresh intelligence was being compiled as a result of the photographic evidence gathered at the funeral.
They added that they were particularly interested in the emergence at the funeral of some newcomers, and a number of people thought to have retired from republican activity who had not been known to associate with Ryan or his faction of the Real IRA.
