Concerned Republicans, formed in December 2006, is an umbrella political groups which plans to run independent republican candidates in the 2007 Northern Ireland Assembly election on a manifesto of non-endorsement of the Police Service of Northern Ireland and would be anti-Good Friday Agreement and anti-St Andrews Agreement.

- Paul McGlinchey, brother of murdered INLA leader Dominic McGlinchey[2]
- Gerry McGeough, former Provisional Irish Republican Army volunteer, gunrunner and Sinn Féin Ard Comhairle member, from Tyrone.
