More on Irish National Liberation Army
Description from Wikipedia:
The Irish National Liberation Army (INLA; Arm Saoirse Náisiúnta na hÉireann in Irish) is an Irish republican, left-wing paramilitary organisation that was formed on 8 December, 1974.
Sharing a common Marxist ideology with its political wing, the Irish Republican Socialist Party, it enjoyed its peak of influence in the late 1970s and early 1980s and is now one of a number of small armed republican groups in Ireland. In its earliest days, the INLA was known as the People's Liberation Army (PLA). During the PLA period, the group's purpose was primarily to protect IRSP members from attacks by the Official Irish Republican Army (Official IRA).
The INLA is an illegal organisation in the Republic of Ireland where it is classified as such under the Offences against the State Act 1939. A suppression order was issued by the Irish government in 1983 which proscribed the organisation. The United Kingdom has proscribed the INLA under anti-terrorism legislation.
The INLA declared a ceasefire on 22 August 1998. In August 1999 it stated that "There is no political or moral argument to justify a resumption of the campaign".
