"THE New IRA has had to back off ‘protecting’ a North Belfast building site after the INLA moved in, the North Belfast News has learned.

We understand the builder was surprised to see a new ‘security guard’ turn up at the site and he was later told there had been a change of arrangement.

That was after the INLA flexed their muscle and the New IRA had to back off.

A source told the paper that if the INLA decided they wanted the protection income, there was little the dissidents could do about it.

“The New IRA are big news but on the ground they have very little members and even less weaponry. In comparison, the INLA is well armed and vastly outnumbers the dissident republicans.

“They are also more involved in crime. Outside of taxing drug dealers and protection rackets the New IRA doesn’t have a large income whereas the INLA have their fingers in many more pies.”

  1. The so called ‘New IRA’ is the most worthless ‘paramilitary’ around

    the loyalist paramilitary scumbags have the DUP and members of the UUP in their pockets, actual political influence, sure their scumbags but they have influence

    The New IRA has nothing, nothing, there scumbags too, but scumbags with legit no real influence, it does not surprise me that the INLA mopped the floor with them.

  3. “The New IRA are big news but on the ground **they have very little members** and even less weaponry.”

    I assume the source meant that they have “**very few members**” or that they have **”a very little membership.”**

    The idea of the New IRA struggling because their members are all very little, is, however, superb.
