RIRA moving into the North

Sharon O'Neill in the subscription only Irish News reports:

"The successful crackdown on Real IRA activity in the Republic has led the organisation to shift its power base to Northern Ireland, the latest security assessments have revealed. Evidence from Derry city points to it being the only area of the north where the Real IRA seems to have established a base from which to launch regular attacks. Suspicions that the Real IRA was now being led by members based in the north are also confirmed by a security source tracking the organisation’s development."
