Context paragraphs:
Joe Cahill: Joe Cahill (Irish: Seosamh Ó Cathail ; 19 May 1920 – 23 July 2004) was a prominent figure in the Irish Republican movement in Northern Ireland and former chief of staff of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA).  He joined a junior-republican movement, Na Fianna Eireann, in 1937 and the following year, joined the Irish Republican Army.  In 1969, Cahill was a key figure in the founding of the Provisional Irish Republican Army.  During his time in the Provisional IRA, Cahill helped import weapons and raise financial support.  He served as the chief of staff in 1972, but was arrested the following year when a ship importing weapons was intercepted.  After his release, he continued to serve on the IRA Army Council and lead all financial dealings for Sinn Féin.  In the 1990s, the IRA and Sinn Féin began to work on seeking peace.  Cahill served on the council that called a cessation on 21 July 1996.  Cahill attended several of the talks that finally led to the Good Friday Agreement on 10 April 1998.  Shortly after the agreement was made, Cahill resigned as treasurer of Sinn Féin.  To honour his service, he was made honorary Sinn Féin Vice-President for life.

Continuity Irish Republican Army: The Continuity Irish Republican Army, usually known as the Continuity IRA (CIRA) is an Irish republican paramilitary group that aims to bring about a united Ireland.  It emerged from a split in the Provisional IRA in 1986 but did not become active until the Provisional IRA ceasefire of 1994.  It is an illegal organisation in the Republic of Ireland and is designated a terrorist organisation in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and the United States.  It has links with the political party Republican Sinn Féin (RSF).

Northern Bank robbery: The Northern Bank robbery was a large robbery of cash from the Donegall Square West headquarters of Northern Bank in Belfast, Northern Ireland.  Carried out on 20 December 2004, the gang seized the equivalent of £26.5 million in pounds sterling and small amounts of other currencies, largely euros and US dollars, making it the largest bank robbery in Irish history.  Although the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and the British and Irish governments claimed the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) was responsible (or had permitted others to undertake the raid), this is denied by the Provisional IRA and the political party Sinn Féin.  Although one person has been convicted of money laundering, the investigation is still ongoing, and the case remains unsolved.

IRA Army Council: The IRA Army Council is or was the decision-making body of the Provisional Irish Republican Army, more commonly known as the IRA, a paramilitary group dedicated to bringing about the end of the Union between Northern Ireland and Great Britain.  The Council had seven members, said by the British and Irish governments to have included Gerry Adams, the president of Sinn Féin.  The Independent Monitoring Commission declared in 2008 that the council was "no longer operational or functional".  However, the IMC report also says the Army Council still exists and has not dissolved.

Gerry Adams: Gerard "Gerry" Adams (Irish: "Gearóid Mac Ádhaimh" ; born 6 October 1948) is an Irish republican politician who is the president of the Sinn Féin political party and a Teachta Dála (TD; a member of the Irish parliament) for Louth since the 2011 general election.

Dissident republican: Dissident republicans, renegade republicans, anti-Agreement republicans or anti-ceasefire republicans (Irish: "poblachtach easaontach" ) are Irish republicans who do not support the current peace agreements in Northern Ireland.  The agreements followed a 30-year conflict known as the Troubles, which claimed over 3,500 lives.  During the conflict, republican paramilitary groups such as the Provisional Irish Republican Army waged a campaign to bring about a united Irish republic.  Peace negotiations in the 1990s led to an IRA ceasefire in 1994 and to the Good Friday Agreement of 1998.  Mainstream republicans, represented by Sinn Féin, supported the Agreement as a means of achieving Irish unity peacefully.  'Dissidents' saw this as an abandonment of republican ideals and acceptance of partition and British rule.  They hold that the Northern Ireland Assembly and Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) are illegitimate and see the PSNI as a "British paramilitary police force".

Workers' Party of Ireland: The Workers' Party (Irish: "Páirtí na nOibrithe" ), originally known as Official Sinn Féin, is a Marxist–Leninist political party active throughout Ireland.  The party originated with a split between factions of Sinn Féin (which was founded in 1905) and the Irish Republican Army (IRA), which took place in 1969–70, early in the Troubles.  The faction that broke away became known as the Provisional Irish Republican Army and Provisional Sinn Féin.  The Officials' leaders at the time the Provisionals left were Cathal Goulding and Tomás Mac Giolla.

Republican News: Republican News was a longstanding newspaper/magazine published by Sinn Féin.  Following the split in physical force Irish republicanism in the late 1960s between the "Officials" (Official Sinn Féin — also known as Sinn Féin Gardiner Place — and the Official IRA) and the "Provisionals" (Provisional Sinn Féin — also known as Sinn Féin Kevin Street and now most commonly simply as Sinn Féin — and the Provisional IRA) "Republican News" was eclipsed by "An Phoblacht", a new magazine launched by Provisional Sinn Féin in 1970.  "An Phoblacht" came first and then in early 1970, Joe Graham and Proinsias Mac Airt put together "The Republican News" and it functioned independently for quite a while.  Graham worked on only three issues of it before starting "The Vindicator".  The magazines merged under the name "An Phoblacht/Republican News" in 1979.
