Yep. These three are part of the new Continuity Irish Republican Army (CIRA), which broke off from the PIRA in 1986 and to this day continues to cause problems in Ireland and Great Britain.

There are unconfirmed reports that the CIRA split into two different factions in 2005-6. If true, this would likely weaken the group further and might actually give Ireland an opportunity to fully recover after so many years of violence and bloodshed.
