Ya. Still, it's not the IRA proper, it's splinter groups from the old IRA. The hard nuts who couldn't put down their arms. Probably the Real IRA lot:

Aye.

With any luck they'll be duds and that. Not like the nail bombs and the Docklands bombings of the old IRA.

With RIRA, sadly not probably duds.

At least they've graduated to warnings, ach :/

They often give a code word to cause maximum disruption...whether there is a bomb or not.

If the intent is to kill or maim (such as the catholic police officer recently) they dropped using coded warnings after the peace settlement was reached.

Unfortunately the authorities don't have the luxury of adhering to any particular protocol.
