In this episode I take a look at Dissident Irish Republican micro-groups. Rather than a case of considering some of their 'military actions', I'll be focusing on republican ideology as well as theology.
How do dissidents view themselves as opposed to Sinn Fein?
What drives their appetite for continuing violence?
Is there much difference between dissidents and organised crime groups?
I hope to, if not answer some of the above then give food for thought, plus look briefly at the statement by PIRA / Sinn Fein that there was 'no alternative' to waging a campaign of violence.
