Moving forward in the best interests of the article 

Now that we are relatively free of disruptive influence, I suggest we use the opportunity to find out what, if anything, the IRA is up to these days.  Note that a lack of sources does not constitute a lack of activity.  We need a source to justify a change in the article, one way or the other. I would also contend that the IMC source is incomplete at best. Serious questions have been raised as to its impartiality, and it really only talks about the Army Council and its military preparedness.  I will endeavour to find better sources, and I entreat upon the rest of you to do likewise.  Let's get this taken care of before any disruptive influences return.
