Talk:Catholic Reaction Force

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Catholic Reaction Force (CRF) is neither a cover name for the PIRA or INLA. The INLA are Socialists and not particularly religous, therfore using the name 'catholic' is unlikely. The IRA have used many regional cover names but not CRF. This is likely a Loyalist groups masquerading as a Republican group, to further dissent for Republican paramilitaries.


I have an article from The Times, Nov 1983, that quotes at length an interview with Dominic McGlinchey, then chief of staff of the INLA. He denies Darkley and says only one of the men involved was in the INLA, and that man had been given a Luger to kill a known loyalist.
