Decades into Northern Ireland鈥檚 peace process, dissident republican groups are attracting a new generation to their cause. Jennifer O鈥橪eary investigates.

A car bomb attack on a Northern Ireland police station earlier this year showed the New IRA鈥檚 ongoing violent intent. In other separate incidents, people born after the Good Friday Agreement have been linked to suspected dissident attacks. As the Police Service of Northern Ireland prepares to mark its 25th anniversary, how are dissident republican groups attracting a generation born in peacetime to their cause? Jennifer O鈥橪eary reports.
