schema:articleBody	Seven men were jailed on Friday for a string of 50 terror offences linked to dissident republican paramilitary activity in Northern Ireland, police said. The sentences come after UK lawmakers last month warned of sustained terrorist activity by proscribed groups in the British-ruled province, which could be exacerbated by Brexit. The cross-party parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee quoted intelligence agencies as saying recruitment remained high and more work was needed to tackle it. The terror threat from Northern Ireland has been classed as "severe" -- the second-highest of five levels -- since July 2019. "Severe" indicates an attack is "highly likely". The men jailed on Friday, aged from 36 to 76, admitted "a litany of terrorist offences" at a hearing earlier this year, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said. It followed a 2014 bugging operation by the domestic intelligence agency MI5 and regional law enforcement. The offences included "membership of a proscribed organisation, preparation of terrorist acts, conspiracy to possess explosives and firearms, collecting information and providing terrorist training", the PSNI said. An eighth man in the network, detained by police surveilling a house in the border city of Newry, pleaded guilty to nine offences in January but has since died. A police spokesman told AFP the offences related to the Continuity Irish Republican Army (CIRA), which opposes the 1998 Good Friday Agreement peace deal. The accord brought an end 30 years of violence between pro-Irish republican paramilitaries and loyalist groups favouring continued British rule in Northern Ireland. PSNI head of serious crime Detective Chief Superintendent Raymond Murray said the men jailed were "determined to build a network of like-minded individuals on both sides of the border to push forward plans to attack police (and) intimidate anyone who stood against them". Last month's parliamentary report warned that any changes to the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland risked becoming a target and "recruiting badge" for dissident groups such as the New IRA and CIRA. jts/phz/pvh
