Reports that dissident republican paramilitary groups are holding talks with a view to joining forces have been rubbished.
In recent weeks reports circulated that meetings took place between representatives of the INLA, RIRA, CIRA and disillusioned Provisionals to agree a new 'armed struggle' strategy. Such meetings were reported to have taken place in Co. Donegal and in Co. Louth.
However, a spokesperson for the 32 County Sovereignty Movement in Derry said: "This is absolute rubbish. These meetings have not taken place and never will.
"The INLA is supposed to be on ceasefire whereas the Continuity IRA is in disarray. While we may have some common ground, any talk of a merger is absolute nonsense."
