Mick Hall outlines why he thinks it would be foolish to expect the Provisional IRA to have gone off the scene. Mick Hall is a Marxist blogger @ Organized Rage.
After the Provisional IRA allegedly sanctioned the killing of Kevin McGuigan there has been a great deal of hand wringing and hysterical comment coming from journalists and politicians on both sides of the Irish sea. McGuigan was killed in retaliation for his role in the murder of former IRA commander Gerard 'Jock' Davison in the Markets area of Belfast last May. Davison was a powerful, although well liked figure within his home areas who had a colourful but contentious career both before and after the IRA cessation of violence.
Davison and McGuigan were at one time both involved in Direct Action Against Drugs,(DAAD) a convenience name which the Provos once used to remove what they regarded as anti social elements from within nationalist communities. It's members supposedly liaised with the IRA's Civil Administration Teams.
