PROVISIONAL IRISH REPUBLICAN ARMY (PIRA)
Inon-attendance at the December,1988 Dublin meeting
could alsobe a factor.
Another factor involving
resignation from
Clan Na Gael activities could bel
belief (either real
or perceived) that PIRA/PSF are more supportive of NORAID than
b6
Clan Na Gael.While it is well known that PSF/PIRA will accept
funds from any source, the various Republican support groups in
b7C
the United states tend to overlap, and in some cases, negate each
other's actions and "cut into" monies collected by one group or
another. For example, if NoRAID runs a raffle, fund-raiser, or
benefit, it is usually widely advertised. Should Clan Na Gael,
or Tyrone Society or AncientOrder Of Hibernians (AoH) etc., run
another function, both groups will have some negative effects,
i.e. decreased attendance and/or donations. Since NoRAID is
well established and organized nationally, these effects would be

Corkman's Association. If the purpose of
travelwasto
unify the various groups, one of the most of effective means
would be to have NoRAID organize the respective groups and
thereby have NoRAID in some control over the finances. This
could alleviate the various difficulties encountered by the

effective in providing funds to the PIRA/PFS and could be
depended upon. to continue this roll.

It has also come to our recent attention (January.

are recommending/suggesting additional.means for NoRAID to raise
funds.It has been learned that PrRA
hasmade
arrangements for NoRAID.to obtain two master video tapes, one
made by the."Repatriation Committee and one by the "68
tapes and:return.$6.oo for eachtape sold toPFs/PIRA
headquarters.while this is not the first such incidence of
PFS/PIRA direction of NORAID fund-raising, it should be viewed in
the.contex of the above factors.
