The following day , the UVF launched two ' retaliatory ' attacks . In the first , UVF members shot dead a Catholic civilian taxi driver in Carrickfergus . In the second , they shot dead two Protestant civilians in Newtownabbey , whom they believed were Catholics . Two days after the killings the Ulster Volunteer Force decided to launch another revenge attack when they killed six Catholic civilians in a bar while they were watching the Ireland vs Italy 1994 World Cup game opener in what became known as Loughinisland massacre . The tit-for-tat attacks continued on and off for the spring and summer of 1994 until the Provisional IRA ceasefire of 31 August 1994 and the Combined Loyalist Military Command ceasefire in October . The attacks on the Shankill were the INLA 's most deadliest attack of the 1990s
