A number of other 'residents groups' have sprung up over Northern Ireland under the umbrella of "the Irish Resident's Association". Among these is the Bellaghy Residents Association which has objected to both Orange and Black Institution parades through the village. Newry Coalition Against Sectarian Marches objects to Orange parades through what they say is an overwhelmingly nationalist town. The Newtownbutler and Area Residents Association has also objected to parades and there has been residents' action in West and North Belfast, Dunloy, Pomeroy, Downpatrick, Armagh, Crumlin and other towns and villages across Northern Ireland. These groups are headed by IRA personnel and the Nationalist residents who live along traditional Orange marching routes and have been ordered by IRA Sinn Fein to oppose the parades, or at the very least, demand dialogue about them

All these groups show their total intolerance towards Ulster Protestants and promote the ideology of the IRA.
