Within a month of the bombing , the UDA had restructured , adopting a more military structure and establishing a thirteen-member Security Council under Charles Harding Smith to co-ordinate activity . Michael Stone would go on to perpetrate the Milltown Cemetery attack in 1988 , which was caught on camera . Another Protestant man , Eddie Kinner , had been at the scene following the explosion . He lived around the corner from Balmoral . He sought revenge against the IRA and later joined the Ulster Volunteer Force ( UVF ) . He later spoke about his reactions to the Balmoral bombing in an interview with Peter Taylor : " On that occasion , if somebody had handed me a bomb to plant it anywhere you want in the Falls , I would have done it " , adding that he had no qualms about taking somebody else 's life . Within a week of the attack , the UVF retaliated by planting a bomb at Murtagh 's Bar on the Irish nationalist Springfield Road in west Belfast . A 16-year-old Catholic barman , James McCallum , was killed
