In 1972 an Official IRA army convention voted to endorse Costello's position of continued support for armed struggle in Northern Ireland. However, supporters of Costello did not have the numbers on the Army Council to enable what was voted for at the convention. At Official Sinn Féin <a href="/wiki/Ardfheis" title="Ardfheis">Ardfheis</a> in 1972 and 1973 Costello's policy was accepted by the rank and file but blocked by the party executive. A smear campaign was initiated against Costello and he was marginalised within the movement and some of his prominent associates were expelled. Costello himself was dismissed from Sinn Féin after ignoring an order not to stand in local elections or attend meetings of the two local authorities of which he was a member. In Spring 1974 Costello was also court-martialled by the Official IRA. Meanwhile, Costello's emerging anti-ceasefire faction, amongst them several Belfast men (including <a href="/wiki/Ronnie_Bunting" title="Ronnie Bunting">Ronnie Bunting</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Protestant_nationalist" class="mw-redirect" title="Protestant nationalist">Protestant nationalist</a>), carried out a series of robberies in the Republic to pay for arms. At the Sinn Féin Ardfheis in Dublin on 1 December 1974, a Costello sympathiser proposed a motion overturning his dismissal. However, many of Costello's supporters had been blocked from entering, including the most articulate who would have been able to sway the members gathered. The motion was defeated by 197 votes to 15 and a split was now inevitable.

In the statement, Costello summarised the "broad front" strategy: </p> <blockquote><p>It shall be the policy of the Irish Republican Socialist Party to seek an active working alliance of all radical forces within the context of the Broad Front in order to ensure the ultimate success of the Irish Working Class in their struggle for Socialism.</p></blockquote> <p>The IRSP also called for an end to sectarian murders "on the basis of united action by Catholic and Protestant working class against British Imperialism in Ireland", opposition to Ireland joining the <a href="/wiki/European_Economic_Community" title="European Economic Community">European Economic Community</a>, nationalisation of natural resources, and the "formation of people's organisations to combat rising prices an unemployment".

Defending paramilitary prisoners' right to special category status, i.e. political status was an issue the IRSP and INLA advocated for from the outset, both within the prisons and on outside, when others, including the Provisional IRA and Sinn Féin, seemed reluctant to do so. This could be partly attributed to IRSP/INLA prisoners being immediately forced into confrontation with prison staff as soon as the movement was formed. Because IRSP prisoners were not members of the Official IRA or Provisional IRA they were denied political status while it was still granted and in summer 1975 twenty IRSP prisoners went on hunger strike for the right to wear their own clothes, to associate freely, refuse to do prison work, and to elect their own spokesmen. These would later become the core of the five demands of the H-Block protest and the 1981 hunger strike was fought. As the 1 March 1976 deadline for the removal of special category status approached the Northern Ireland Office met with a council of representing all paramilitary organisations, loyalist and republican, inside Long Kesh prison. The British offered concessions in return for the removal of special category status. Only the IRSP would go on to flatly refuse the offer. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Maze_Prison_-_geograph_-_341034.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Maze_Prison_-_geograph_-_341034.jpg/220px-Maze_Prison_-_geograph_-_341034.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Maze_Prison_-_geograph_-_341034.jpg/330px-Maze_Prison_-_geograph_-_341034.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1c/Maze_Prison_-_geograph_-_341034.jpg/440px-Maze_Prison_-_geograph_-_341034.jpg 2x" data-file-width="640" data-file-height="426" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/HM_Prison_Maze" title="HM Prison Maze">Maze prison</a> near Belfast, site of the prisoners' protests and hunger strike</figcaption></figure> <p>On 14 November the first IRSP/INLA prisoner, James Connolly Brady of Derry, joined the <a href="/wiki/Blanket_protest" title="Blanket protest">blanket protest</a>. Both the INLA and IRA attacked prison staff outside the prison. However, unlike Sinn Féin, the IRSP engaged in popular agitation on the streets in Dublin, Belfast, Cork, and elsewhere. Behind the public rhetoric, there was deep concern within the IRSP about the commitment of the IRA/Sinn Féin to the H-Block protest; Sinn Féin had voted at its Ard Chomhairle to prohibit cooperation with the IRSP in protest activities in the South and in June 1978 Sinn Féin protests stopped as it emerged the IRA were in secret negotiations with mediators. According to Holland and McDonald, "as conditions inside the H-Blocks deteriorated, so did relations between the IRSP and the Provisionals." The Sinn Féin Ard-Chomhairle put out a directive in September 1978 banning any IRSP speaker from sharing a Provisional speaker, and at a meeting held in <a href="/wiki/Liberty_Hall" title="Liberty Hall">Liberty Hall</a> to discuss the prison crisis all the Provisionals walked out when Mick Plunkett stood up to speak.

The group consisted of IRA members Brendan Hughes, Tommy McKearney, Raymond McCartney, Tom McFeeley, Sean McKenna, Leo Green, and INLA member John Nixon. This hunger strike ended a week before Christmas. In January 1981, it became clear that the prisoners' demands had not been conceded. Prison authorities began to supply the prisoners with officially issued civilian clothing, whereas the prisoners demanded the right to wear their own clothing. In addition, the militancy of INLA blanket men, who were refusing to withdraw from the protest, was causing problems.

fund-raising tour undertaken by three of the hunger-strikers' relatives, Liz O'Hara, Malachy McCreesh, and Seán Sands. The tour had been organised by <a href="/wiki/Noraid" class="mw-redirect" title="Noraid">Noraid</a>, the Provisional IRA's support group in the United States. Noraid had objected to O'Hara being on the tour because her brother Patsy was a "communist" and would sully the image republicans had in the United States. However, the other relatives refused to go unless she accompanied them. There were disputes over the exact amount of money raised but the only certainty is INLA prisoners received none of it. IRSP member Seán Flynn travelled to New York where he met <a href="/wiki/Martin_Galvin" title="Martin Galvin">Martin Galvin</a> a leading Noraid spokesman. The meeting devolved into a shouting match with Galvin denouncing Flynn as a communist and having him thrown out of the house. Flynn toured the United States as a representative of the H-Block committee but Noraid was told to stay away from any meeting he was speaking at. A wealthy Noraid supporter who did attend a meeting was so disgusted by Flynn's sympathy for <a href="/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States" title="Native Americans in the United States">Native Americans</a> and <a href="/wiki/African-Americans" class="mw-redirect" title="African-Americans">African-Americans</a> that he tore up a previously promised cheque for $10,000. He allegedly told Flynn "I don't like niggers".<sup id="cite_ref-Holland,_Jack_1994_51-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Holland,_Jack_1994-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The INLA unit which operated in the Lower Falls area of Belfast, led by Gerard Steenson, were particularly active at this time. However, the Belfast INLA was increasingly at odds with the Dublin leadership for personal and political reasons. By the beginning of 1982, this faction had shot and wounded the INLA's northern organiser Jackie Goodman, IRSP Belfast city councillor Sean Flynn and Flynn's brother Harry Flynn, hiding out in Dublin after escaping from the Maze prison in 1976. Steenson's faction claimed they were the true INLA. In response, the old Dublin INLA leadership declared they be shot on sight.<sup id="cite_ref-Fortnight_Publications_1983_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fortnight_Publications_1983-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-52" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-52"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Dominic_McGlinchey">Dominic McGlinchey</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Irish_National_Liberation_Army&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Dominic McGlinchey"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Mount_Gabriel_Radar.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8f/Mount_Gabriel_Radar.jpg/220px-Mount_Gabriel_Radar.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8f/Mount_Gabriel_Radar.jpg/330px-Mount_Gabriel_Radar.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8f/Mount_Gabriel_Radar.jpg/440px-Mount_Gabriel_Radar.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4404" data-file-height="2931" /></a><figcaption>The radar station at Mount Gabriel was bombed by the INLA in September 1982, who claimed it was providing assistance to NATO</figcaption></figure> <p>In summer 1982 in a "rare moment of tactical expediency" what was left of the INLA's Belfast leadership, a group with close contacts with the Lower Falls gang, patched up their differences with the old INLA leadership and agreed on the composition of a new army council, chief of staff and Belfast commander.<sup id="cite_ref-Fortnight_Publications_1983_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fortnight_Publications_1983-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In early 1982 IRA veteran <a href="/wiki/Dominic_McGlinchey" title="Dominic McGlinchey">Dominic McGlinchey</a> was released from <a href="/wiki/Portlaoise_Prison" title="Portlaoise Prison">Portlaoise Prison</a> having served five years.

By 1984 the movement had "degenerated into a loosely knit group of often mutually suspicious fiefdoms." The IRSP took a more rigidly Marxist/Leninist line than that ever previously adopted by the movement in an attempt to delineate the IRSP/INLA more clearly from the Sinn Féin and the Provisional IRA. The adoption of this rigid line meant the effective abandonment of the broad front strategy as initially conceived by Seamus Costello. Widespread criminality and ruthless <a href="/wiki/Racketeering" title="Racketeering">racketeering</a> by the INLA in Belfast after the imprisonment of key activists following the supergrass trials brought the movement into further disrepute and the INLA leadership moved against the new Officer Commanding (OC) of the Belfast INLA. The INLA carried out a number of bomb attacks in 1985 but the INLA was more concerned with the internal battle for control of the disintegrating organisation. John O'Reilly, former OC of the Markets area of Belfast, emerged as the winner and usurped the Dundalk man McGlinchey had appointed to become chief of staff. John O'Reilly was regarded with suspicion by some within the INLA, he was dismissed from the organisation by Ronnie Bunting in the late 1970s after an internal inquiry into allegations of O'Reilly being a police informant. </p><p>In jail, the INLA began to break up into warring factions. By late 1984 they could be divided into three broad groupings; one centred around Gerard Steenson, a second that opposed him, and a third that associated with Tom McAllister. Steenson's men, who included Jimmy Brown, were angry and disillusioned at the way the INLA had developed since their arrest. Incidents such as the Darkley killings and the police penetration and corruption in Belfast convinced them that the INLA was beyond reform. Those opposed to Steenson were the de facto INLA leadership including <a href="/wiki/Ta_Power" class="mw-redirect" title="Ta Power">Ta Power</a> and John O'Reilly. Their priority was to preserve the INLA as an organisation. McAllister at first leaned towards O'Reilly but later veered towards those opposed to him. </p><p>O'Reilly saw the remnants of the original INLA organisation based in Dublin and Munster as a threat to his legitimacy as chief of staff. Harry Flynn and Gerry Roche were released from Portlaoise Prison in 1984 and set about trying to reconstruct the organisation founded by Costello. Gerry Roche won an agreement by a very narrow majority, on the Ard Comhairle of the lRSP to publish a newspaper. He wanted to call the paper "The Broad Front" and although permission was not granted he went ahead anyway, calling the paper "Freedom Struggle". In the editorial in the first and only issue, Flynn made reference to the tradition of Connolly, Mellowes and Costello but no mention was made of Marx, Engels or Lenin; this was viewed as a reflection of his disagreement with the new Marxist/Leninist line. In response, the O'Reilly faction tried to assassinate both Flynn and Roche. The old arms links were re-activated by the Dublin-Munster grouping as part of an effort to either create a new republican socialist movement or reform the existing INLA; between 1984 and late 1986 they held meetings with Al-Fatah and other Arab sympathisers in Prague, East Berlin, Warsaw, and Tunisia. In 1984 guns started coming into Ireland in modest amounts; Škorpion machine pistols, VZOR pistols, and grenades were smuggled, as well as some "remotes" for bomb detonators. Seamus Ruddy from Newry joined the INLA in Dublin in the 1970s. He was arrested in 1978 for smuggling arms but was acquitted. After dissension among local members, Ruddy drifted away from the main organisation and in 1983 went to <a href="/wiki/Paris" title="Paris">Paris</a> where he taught <a href="/wiki/English_language" title="English language">English</a>. He disappeared in late May 1985, after a meeting with three leading members of the INLA, one of them being John O'Reilly. The three were searching for arms and believed that Ruddy knew where they could be found. At the time, the INLA denied that it was involved with his disappearance and resisted pressure from the Ruddy family to help it locate his whereabouts. In late 1993, a former high-ranking member of the INLA, Peter Stewart, finally admitted that the INLA had killed Ruddy in Paris. Ruddy's remains were found there in 2017.<sup id="cite_ref-66" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-66"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>66<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Holland,_Jack_1994_51-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Holland,_Jack_1994-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Vincent_Browne_39-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Vincent_Browne-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1987, the INLA and its political wing, the IRSP came under attack from the <a href="/wiki/Irish_People%27s_Liberation_Organisation" title="Irish People's Liberation Organisation">Irish People's Liberation Organisation</a> (IPLO), an organisation founded by disaffected INLA members centred around Tom McAllister, Gerard Steenson, Jimmy Brown and <a href="/wiki/Martin_%22Rook%22_O%27Prey" class="mw-redirect" title="Martin "Rook" O'Prey">Martin "Rook" O'Prey</a> who had resigned or been expelled from the INLA.<sup id="cite_ref-67" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-67"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>67<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The IPLO's initial aim was to destroy the INLA and replace it with their organisation. Five members of the INLA were killed by the IPLO, including leaders Ta Power and John O'Reilly. The INLA retaliated with several killings of their own. After the INLA killed the IPLO's leader, Gerard Steenson in 1987, a truce was reached. Although severely damaged by the IPLO's attacks, the INLA continued to exist. The IPLO, which was heavily involved in drug dealing, was forcibly disbanded by the Provisional IRA in a <a href="/wiki/Night_of_the_Long_Knives_(1992)" class="mw-redirect" title="Night of the Long Knives (1992)">large-scale operation in 1992</a>. </p><p>Directly after the feud in October 1987, the INLA received more damaging publicity when <a href="/wiki/Dessie_O%27Hare" title="Dessie O'Hare">Dessie O'Hare</a>, an erstwhile INLA volunteer, set up his own group called the "Irish Revolutionary Brigade" and kidnapped a Dublin dentist named John O'Grady.

years. Their avowed Marxism made them beyond help from Catholic Irish-America, who had traditionally been a lifeline for funds and weapons for Irish republicans engaged in armed struggle against British rule in Ireland.<sup id="cite_ref-Fortnight_Publications_1983_2-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fortnight_Publications_1983-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Lack of weapons in the mid-Seventies led to numerous internal rows, and Costello himself was even threatened by INLA members for his failure to provide guns. At a time when the IRA seemed replete with <a href="/wiki/ArmaLite" title="ArmaLite">Armalites</a>, the INLA was mainly armed with shotguns, which the rank and file wryly took to calling "Costello-ites" after their leader. The INLA's main source of arms early on was from sympathizers in the Middle East, from where they imported a contingent of AK-pattern rifles in 1978.<sup id="cite_ref-Fortnight_Publications_1983_2-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fortnight_Publications_1983-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> An arms smuggling network was later established where guns would be channelled from a Palestinian source based in <a href="/wiki/Lebanon" title="Lebanon">Lebanon</a> via West Germany (and later Switzerland) to a left-wing sympathiser in France and then to Ireland. The first shipment arrived in July 1979 consisting of six FN pistols, 35 automatic pistols, and 4 <a href="/wiki/Uzi" title="Uzi">Uzi</a> submachine guns. In later years Palestinian sources would provide the INLA with hundreds of Czechoslovak <a href="/wiki/Vz._50" title="Vz. 50">VZOR pistols</a> as well as Chinese-made <a href="/wiki/SKS" title="SKS">SKS</a> rifles, Rhodesian submachine-guns and Browning pistols. The INLA also acquired <a href="/wiki/%C5%A0korpion" title="Škorpion">Škorpion</a> machine pistols from <a href="/wiki/Fatah" title="Fatah">Fatah</a> free of charge. The INLA also acquired Soviet-made plastic explosives, which were used in the <a href="/wiki/Assassination_of_Airey_Neave" title="Assassination of Airey Neave">assassination of Airey Neave</a>. Later smaller-scale arms smuggling was carried out through a new conduit linked to the French far-left terrorist group <a href="/wiki/Action_directe_(armed_group)" class="mw-redirect" title="Action directe (armed group)">Action directe</a>. This new network was established by the INLA faction loyal to Gerard Steenson, the original Middle East arms route remained in the hands of the older Dublin-based leadership.<sup id="cite_ref-Holland,_Jack_1994_51-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Holland,_Jack_1994-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Fortnight_Publications_1983_2-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Fortnight_Publications_1983-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In July 1983 INLA member <a href="/wiki/Colm_Murphy" title="Colm Murphy">Colm Murphy</a> was arrested in the US after attempting to buy a consignment of <a href="/wiki/M60_machine_gun" title="M60 machine gun">M60 machine guns</a> to be shipped to Ireland.<sup id="cite_ref-118" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-118"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>118<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Testifying in court, informer Harry Kirkpatrick later recounted how the INLA faction in Belfast under the leadership of Gerard Steenson had during the 1981 Hunger Strike independently purchased arms in the United States, using money acquired from an armed robbery.<sup id="cite_ref-119" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-119"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>119<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By the mid-1980s, separate INLA factions were trying to acquire arms. The old arms links were re-activated by remnants of the original INLA organisation based in Dublin and Munster as part of an effort to either create a new republican socialist movement or reform the existing INLA. Between 1984 and late 1986 they held meetings with Fatah and other Arab sympathisers in Prague, East Berlin, Warsaw, and Tunisia. In 1984, a modest amount of arms started flowing into Ireland again, including, Škorpion machine pistols and VZOR pistols; grenades were smuggled as well, as were remotes for bomb detonators. The <a href="/wiki/1986_United_States_bombing_of_Libya" title="1986 United States bombing of Libya">1986 United States bombing of Libya</a> generated an anti-Western mood in the Arab world that led to a breakthrough for INLA arms procurement efforts. A large arms haul was secured through a <a href="/wiki/Palestine_Liberation_Organization" title="Palestine Liberation Organization">Palestine Liberation Organization</a> contact in Prague which included a hundred man-portable anti-tank weapons, forty AK-47 rifles, three 12.7mm heavy machine guns, and two 80mm mortars. However, four INLA members (amongst them Harry Flynn) were arrested in France as they prepared to receive the shipment. The judge at their trial was sympathetic and recognised they were acting on political motives. By 1988 though the weapons were still available for import neither the INLA nor the IPLO splinter group had the means to do so. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Submachine_gun_vz61.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Submachine_gun_vz61.jpg/220px-Submachine_gun_vz61.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="85" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Submachine_gun_vz61.jpg/330px-Submachine_gun_vz61.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Submachine_gun_vz61.jpg/440px-Submachine_gun_vz61.jpg 2x" data-file-width="500" data-file-height="193" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/%C5%A0korpion" title="Škorpion">Škorpion vz. 61</a></figcaption></figure> <p>Between 1977 and 1983 the INLA received weaponry from a sympathiser in Australia.
