The PoliceServiceNI does not believe loyalist paramilitary groups, based on a current assessment, will break their 1994 ceasefires
BBC News NI Home Affairs Correspondent
The language and the sentiment of a recent letter from the Loyalist Communities Council to Unionist leaders, which spoke of "dire consequences", was not new. During the course of the last two years, the LCC, a legal organisation, has met Northern Ireland Office officials, Lord Frost, when he was Brexit minister, and the DUP."A lot of it was sabre-rattling," said one person aware of loyalist thinking.They also suggested reports of an aborted attack in the Republic of Ireland the week before last were "a bit of an exaggeration".
The last incident of note was the elaborate bomb hoax, again said to involve the UVF, targeting a visit to north Belfast by the Irish foreign minister Simon Coveney in March.
