Article 2

SCHEDULESpecified Organisations

  • The Continuity Irish Republican Army

  • The Loyalist Volunteer Force

  • The organisation using the name “The Orange Volunteers” and in the name of which a statement described as a press release was published on

  • 14 October 1998

  • The “Real” Irish Republican Army

  • The Red Hand Defenders

  • The Ulster Volunteer Force

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Under section 3 of the Northern Ireland (Sentences) Act 1998 (“the 1998 Act”) the Secretary of State must specify an organisation if he believes that it is concerned in terrorism connected with the affairs of Northern Ireland, or in promoting or encouraging it, and that it has not established or is not maintaining a complete and unequivocal ceasefire. The Secretary of State is obliged to review the list of specified organisations from time to time.

Following such a review the Secretary of State has decided that the Ulster Volunteer Force and the Red Hand Commando should be specified and that the Continuity IRA, the “Real” IRA, the Loyalist Volunteer Force, the Red Hand Defenders and the Orange Volunteers (which were specified by S.I.2004/3009 which this Order revokes) should continue to be specified.

The effect of specifying an organisation is that a prisoner who is, or who would be likely to become, a supporter of such an organisation, is ineligible for release under the 1998 Act or, if released, is liable to recall to prison.

(1)

See section 3(10) of the Northern Ireland (Sentences) Act 1998 (c. 35) which requires the Secretary of State to review the list of specified organisations.
