Added what Bowyer Bell has to say about the Northern Campaign. I know there is at least one other history out there that deals with it- attempting to get access to that book. Please feel free to correct spelling/formatting/typos and any details Bowyer Bell gives in his great book (well worth a read).
BTW, please correct the reference to "CS." which I didn't have time to look up, PLUS I also left in the profanity of "bastards" in the Behan quote as it is possibly permissable in the context of quotation. Please do NOT spam my talk page with wiki-rules & regs if it isn't. Wikistalking is against the rules.
The other thing worth mentioning is that all the details on IRA Northern / Eastern / Western Command etc. appear to be as yet uncreated- if you're feeling energetic, please create the redirects and fill in the details. Maybe someone with the knowledge as yet to edit on wikipedia will fill them in?
Nice to see this gaping hole in the history of the IRA finally filled (on wikipedia)!

Forgot to mention, I will be adding in the dates of all IRA activity 1942-1945 (as recorded by the Times of London next week. Soon as I get access to the newspapers, I don't think Bowyer Bells description of "60 incidents" is doing the bhoys justice.

CS = chief of staff. See List of IRA Chiefs of Staff for details.-- Damac 20:14, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Anybody know any more about him? I see he was killed by An Garda Síochána during a gun battle at a wedding in Cavan. The wedding was his sister's and her son was no less than Gerry Tuite. I'm not sure at all if he was related to Matt Tuite of Julianstown in Meath, but Matt Tuite would most probably have been connected with Patrick Dermody as both of them were IRA men in the 1940s. 86.42.98.32 ( talk) 11:45, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
What does this mean, Mabuska? If you mean against the polity, why not say so? What's wrong with saying 'in' Northern Ireland? Gob Lofa ( talk) 21:39, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
The use of the Irish tricolour in the infobox is potentially confusing as it stands, as it is used to represent belligerents on both sides (the Irish state & the Gardai on one side, the IRA on the other). The use of the tricolour to represent the IRA in particular is also unverified by sources, and as such should probably be removed. For now, I will tag as citation required. Miles Creagh ( talk) 20:06, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
I have removed Nazi Germany from the Belligerents section, first source used is a self published website which fails as a reliable source and the second source is about IRA in America and nothing at all to do with the Northern Campaign, Sean Russell gets a mention but that's about as far as it goes and doesn't in any way back up the claim it is being used for. Mo ainm ~Talk 09:01, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
I have just performed a mass clean up of the article to remove the unsourced POV driven and largely irrelevant commentary and waffle that has inflicted this article. Yeah its easy to tag problems, all of which here have been tagged for ages, but obviously unless someone does something the instigators or defenders of the bias won't fix the issues.
Also in regards to infobox flags... Mo ainm, the Ulster Banner was the flag of Northern Ireland at this time so it is the relevant flag to use. Also it was the NI government who took action not the UK PM so I removed the silly mention to Churchill. Mabuska (talk) 00:42, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
