Page "Vigilante" Paragraph 52

* Other Irish republican paramilitary organizations have served and continue to serve as vigilantes.

Óglaigh na hÉireann for example in 2011 claimed responsibility for an arson attack on a taxi depot on Oldpark Road, Belfast, which led to the owners fleeing the country.

It claimed that the owners were using the depot as a cover for drug dealing.

In an interview with the Derry Journal in August 2009, the group's leadership explained: " We would monitor the actions of those who have come forward and, given an adequate period of time, interest in those drug dealers would cease and they could start to lead normal lives ".

Since then RAAD have claimed responsibility for no less than 17 shootings as well as countless pipe bomb attacks ( see Republican Action Against Drugs # Timeline ).
