title="Belfast">Belfast</a>, Northern Ireland. Having taken family members of two bank officials hostage, an armed gang forced the workers to help them steal banknotes. It was one of the largest <a href="/wiki/List_of_heists_in_the_United_Kingdom" title="List of heists in the United Kingdom">bank robberies in the United Kingdom</a>. The police and the British and Irish governments claimed that the <a href="/wiki/Provisional_Irish_Republican_Army" title="Provisional Irish Republican Army">Provisional Irish Republican Army</a> was responsible, which was denied. Police forces made inquiries and arrests in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. A sum of £2.3 million was impounded from a financial adviser, Ted Cunningham, in <a href="/wiki/County_Cork" title="County Cork">County Cork</a>; he was convicted in 2009. Chris Ward, one of the bank officials, was arrested in November 2005 and charged with <a href="/wiki/Robbery" title="Robbery">robbery</a>. The prosecution offered no evidence at trial and he was released. Northern Bank replaced its own bank notes. The robbery adversely affected the <a href="/wiki/Northern_Ireland_peace_process" title="Northern Ireland peace process">Northern Ireland peace process</a> and hardened the relationship between the <a href="/wiki/Taoiseach" title="Taoiseach">Taoiseach</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sinn_F%C3%A9in" title="Sinn Féin">Sinn Féin</a>.
