New IRA is a dissident Irish republican group active in Northern Ireland, tied to violence in recent years and facing ongoing legal action.
A jury in Glasgow has cleared two 16- and 17-year-olds of murder in a stabbing case linked to a gang feud. A third teenager was also present but not named due to age. The court heard that Amen Teklay died after a confrontation on Clarendon Street in March 2025; the defendants claimed self-defence or stood off during the incident.
A car exploded outside Dunmurry police station after being hijacked to the scene. No injuries have been reported. A 66-year-old man has been charged with offences including attempted murder and explosives offences. PSNI views this as an attack possibly linked to the New IRA, continuing a pattern of dissident activity post-Good Friday Agreement.
Three men have been found not guilty of Lyra McKee's murder in a Belfast Crown Court trial tied to events in Derry's Creggan in 2019; the case follows a long, high-profile investigation into the New IRA and the fatal shooting during rioting.
