The South Armagh Brigade of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) operated during the Troubles in south County Armagh. It was organised into two battalions, one around Jonesborough and another around Crossmaglen. By the 1990s, the South Armagh Brigade was thought to consist of about 40 members, roughly half of them living south of the border. It has allegedly been commanded since the 1970s by Thomas 'Slab' Murphy who is also alleged to be a member of the IRA's Army Council. Compared to other brigades, the South Armagh IRA was seen as an 'independent republic' within the republican movement, retaining a battalion organizational structure and not adopting the cell structure the rest of the IRA was forced to adopt after repeated intelligence failures.

  • Die South Armagh Brigade war eine Brigade innerhalb der Provisional Irish Republican Army, die während des Nordirlandkonfliktes vor allem im Süden der Grafschaft Armagh operierte und als eine der berüchtigtsten IRA-Einheiten galt. Die Brigade konnte – gestützt auf einen außergewöhnlich hohen Rückhalt in der fast ausschließlich katholisch-nationalistischen Bevölkerung – mit weitaus größeren Freiheiten als IRA-Einheiten in anderen Teilen Nordirlands agieren. Die britische Armee mied im Süden Armaghs den Landweg, operierte überwiegend mit Hubschraubern und versuchte, das Gebiet von mehreren Wachtürmen aus zu kontrollieren. (de)
