Depending on the circumstances, it sometimes co-operated with both the Irish Republican Army and (less often) the British Army.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yearbook of the European Convention on Human Rights )〕 Its attempts to acquire legal firearms because of the service of its members in the British military were stymied by the Protestant government of Northern Ireland and Royal Ulster Constabulary.
