Criminal Action Force or United Criminal Alliance-U.C.A. members.

You can take it the the Real IRA fear the 15 major gangsters and will do not much to them, you would think that Ryan was the only person killed by the 15 major gangsters in the feuding with the Real IRA, We know that up to 6 other people were killed before Ryan by the gangsters alliance and a lot more people have injuries from gun attacks by the criminals alliance and lived to tell the tale.
