Can we stop flattering them with the term 'dissidents' though? It gives the impression that they are some kind of Ulster Solzhenitsyn's bravely standing up to oppression.
It's a shame that over the last decade the government, media and ultimately the public have already shown that they are willing to reward terrorism in Northern Ireland.

The term 'dissidents' rather sticks in my gullet too. What's wrong with the old fashioned 'splinter group' ?
That's the term also used about assorted Trot/far left grouplets, and thus a far more reasonable word association.
