A GROUP of senior terror bosses have relocated to Dublin from the North to interrogate members of Alan Ryan's RIRA mob, a senior dissident source has revealed.
The terror bosses came down to the capital last week and are currently staying at an address in Tallaght, south Dublin. The group includes a notorious killer who was released from prison as part of the Belfast Agreement, as well as the man suspected of killing two soldiers outside the Massereene Barracks in Antrim town.
The interrogation squad is under the direction of veteran republican Paddy Fox, one of the most feared terrorists in the North.
Fox (41), is a convicted bombmaker and was regarded as the leader of the terror group Oglaigh na hEireann, which merged recently with the RIRA.
His parents were shot dead by the UVF in 1992 while he was serving a jail sentencce in the Maze prison and he has doS(- p,-r'-;oll,,1 links 10 the overall leader of the new IRA. Fox, a prominent Tyrone republican, is a self-confessed dissident who was abducted by the Provos in 1999 because of his opposition to the Good Friday Aggreement.
It is believed that each member of so called Dublin brigade of the RIRA will he individually interviewed about their activities over the last two years.
Extorted -
RIRA bosses suspect a number of Alan Ryan's close associates were pocketing cash extorted from gangs who operate cannabis grow houses in north Dublin.
A large part of the investigation is being carried out by a close associate of terrorist Dominic 'Mad Dog' McGlinchey, who is a senior figure in the organisation. The violent criminal is a suspect in the murder of PSNI Constable Stephen Carroll at the Massereene Barracks in Antrim.
An ex-Provo, who was released from prison in the 1990s under the Belfast Agreement, has also moved to Tallaght. He was convicted of shooting an RUC officer at a checkpoint in the 1980s, but has remained off the radar since his release.
A senior dissident has told the Sunday World that a "root-and-branch" review of the organisation in Dublin is being carried out. "All organisational activities will be moved to the Tallaght area and people who had been working for Ryan will be questioned.
"It is suspected that members of the gangwere using the organisation's name to get money out of drug dealers and not handing it over.
"People will be asked exactly what was collected over the last two years and it will be compared to what was handed over.
"The situation that has been allowed to develop in Dublin is a disgrace and it is all about to change.
"It will be cleaned up, the people in the North are embarrassed with what has been going on." He added: "I imagine 80 per cent of Ryan's people will end up being kicked out."
In July, the Real IRA merged with two other dissident groups to form a new group, calling themselves the IRA.
The Real IRA were joined by Republican Action Against Drugs (RAAD) in Derry and a coalition of independent armed republican groups - often known as Oglaigh na hEireann.
Oglaigh na hEireann - previously headed by Paddy Fox - consisted of a group of hardened ex-Provos based in rural Northern Ireland who opposed the peace process.
The dissident source claimed that Declan 'Fat Deccy' Smith has been isolated by the northern leadership.
Smith, who is originally from Belfast, was put forward by as leader of the Dublin brigade by the southern leadership following Ryans murder. The chubby dissident is wanted for questioning in the North over the murders of two former Continuity IRA members in 2007. Edward Burns (36), and Joe jones (38),were killed within an hour of each other in horrific murders.
Both Burns and jones were savagely beaten before Burns was shot dead and his body dumped in the Bog Meadows area of west Belfast.
Decapiiitated -
A short time later; Joe Jones was decapitated with a shovel and his body abandoned in an alleyway in Ardoyne. However, the dissident source claimed Smith has been effectively removed from his position by his bosses in the North.
"Deccy Smith is not involved in the reorganisation - he will be questioned like everyone else."
The internal reorganisaion was ordered after RIRA suspect Nathan Kinsella was caught with drugs in his apartment.
His flat was 'raided' by an internal dissident discipline squad after a Dublin drug dealer told them Kinsella had been buying drugs off him. The stash - which included cocaine and 'downers' - was found in Kinsella's north inner-city apartment. The find has led to a major split within the dissident group in Dublin, with a number of people effectively being kicked out of the organisation.
Kinsella was subsequently shot twice in the legs before being dumped in Ballyfermot on November 25. He was quizzed by gardai, but has claimed he did not know the shooter. In September Kinsella was charged with IRA membership in the Special Criminal Court as part of the massive investigation into paramilitary criminal activity at the funeral of Alan Ryan, in which shots were fired over Ryan's coffin.
The IRA is believed to have called a number of major Dublin gangsters to a series of 'business meetings' in recent weeks.
Abused -
Gangland figure Troy Jordan was just one of a dozen gangsters summoned to meetings with the new RIRA leaders, who have come to Dublin in the aftermath of the murder of terror chief Alan Ryan.
Jordan was ordered to hand over a significant amount of cash to the RIRA leadership. The protection money would, they said, enable him to continue on with his drug-dealing racket.
But Jordan not only refused to hand over any cash, he verbally abused the dissident godfathers.
