"Dissident Republicans"

If they were really any such thing, then they would be dead by now.

But if they fail, not merely to contest, but to win the West Belfast by-election, then Irish Republicanism no longer exists as a serious political force in Northern Ireland.

The former MP's election in County Louth is only because his party in the South long ago gave up anything more than the merest pretence of attachment to that cause.
