This is a timeline of actions by the Irish republican paramilitary groups referred to as the Real Irish Republican Army ('Real IRA') and New Irish Republican Army ('New IRA').
Since July 2012, when Republican Action Against Drugs (RAAD) and other small republican groups merged with it, the group has been called the New IRA; although it continues to call itself simply "the Irish Republican Army".
[1][2] It has been the largest and most active of the dissident republican paramilitaries waging a campaign against the British security forces.
The other main republican paramilitary groups are the group which calls itself Óglaigh na hÉireann, and the Continuity IRA.
All actions listed took place in Northern Ireland unless stated otherwise.
