Overview
Formed: 
January 1, 2017

Arm na Poblachta is a small dissident Irish republican paramilitary group that is taking part in the dissident Irish republican campaign. They are believed to have split from the New IRA. The group started carrying out attacks in late 2017. The organization first claimed responsibility for a roadside bomb in Belfast in November 2017. In 2018, Arm na Poblachta was found to have acquired a major weapons stockpile, including a rocket capable of penetrating and armored police vehicle. The same year, Arm na Poblachta was charged by the PSNI for the murder of a 28 year-old man in Belfast.
