The 32 County Sovereignty Movement once criticised the Real IRA 's military actions , with respect to the Omagh bombing . However , the group is currently considered a foreign terrorist organization ( FTO ) in the United States , because the group is considered to be inseparable from the Real IRA , which is designated as an FTO . At a briefing in 2001 , a spokesman for the US Department of State stated that " evidence provided by both the British and Irish governments and open source materials demonstrate clearly that the individuals who created the Real IRA also established these two entities to serve as the public face of the Real IRA . These alias organizations engage in propaganda and fundraising on behalf of and in collaboration with the Real IRA . " The US Department of State 's designation made it illegal for Americans to provide material support to the Real IRA , requires US financial institutions to block the group 's assets and denies alleged RIRA members visas into the US
