From what I understand what you say is correct they are all known and monitored.
There was a policy for a short period to set up supposedly easy targets for the I R A and the S A S would be in waiting.There was many I R A members killed this way but the British goverment stopped this policy due to pressure from P C brigades home and abroad.In theory basically all of these terrorist groups could be taken out if the Republic co-operated using special forces but the complications would be endless.
