The New IRA – the primary focus of detectives investigating the attack on a senior police officer in Omagh – is believed to be the largest of the dissident republican groups in Northern Ireland.
In August 2020, the alleged leadership of the New IRA suffered a major blow with a series of arrests prompted by an MI5 surveillance operation. A few months after the killing of Ms McKee, Assistant Chief Constable Barbara Gray, the officer in charge of the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s anti-terror response, said the New IRA derived “sick and sad” pleasure in the reaction to the shooting, motivating them to intensify their activities in the region.
A month before the killing of Ms McKee, the New IRA claimed responsibility for sending small explosive devices in the post to two airports and a train station in London and to the University of Glasgow. Michelle O’Neill, then Stormont ’s Deputy First Minister, said officers had warned that dissident republicans were planning to attack her and Mr Kelly.
