Saor Uladh's central political demand was the replacement of the six-county Parliament of Northern Ireland with a nine-county Dáil Uladh that would represent all of Ulster to determine the future of the "North of Ireland".{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}} The group was armed by contacts Kelly had in the United States of America, from whom they received not only guns and explosives but also anti-tank weapons.[4] Despite this arsenal, the group confined itself to attacks on barracks and the bombing of bridges and customs posts during its period of activity.[5] Saor Uladh was involved in three high-profile attacks from 1955 to 1955. In 1955, they launched an attack on the Royal Ulster Constabulary barracks in Rosslea, County Fermanagh in which Volunteer Connie Green was fatally injured.[6][2] On 11 November 1956, Saor Uladh and members of a Dublin IRA splinter group destroyed six customs posts along the border in bomb attacks.[7] In May 1957, the group blew up the Newry Canal lock with gelignite that they had stolen.[8][9] Their military campaign saw the destruction of several customs posts and raids on police installations. Saor Uladh had its main presence in County Tyrone and in this area the IRA was forced to tolerate the group's existence due to the popularity of Kelly.[10] At the beginning of the Border Campaign, the group was subsumed back into the IRA.{{Citation needed|date=March 2010}} After the attack on the Newry Canal, twelve of the group's members were interned at the Curragh Camp in 1957, where they were ostracised by the IRA internees.[9] During the organisation's brief existence, two of its members were killed.[11] References1. ^1 Feeney (2002), p. 203. 2. ^1 2 3 Hanley and Miller (2009), p. 11. 3. ^1 2 {{cite book| first1=Peter |last1=Barberis |first2=John |last2=McHugh |first3=Mike |last3=Tyldesley |title=Encyclopedia of British and Irish Political Organizations |publisher=Continuum International Publishing Group |year=2003 |page=248}} 4. ^Bowyer Bell (1990), p. 318. 5. ^{{cite book| last = Hickey | first = D.J. | title = A New Dictionary of Irish History from 1800| year = 2003 | publisher = Gill & Macmillan| location = Dublin| isbn = 9780717125210 | oclc = |pages = 429|chapter = }} 6. ^An Phoblacht 7. ^Hanley & Millar (2009), pp. 11–13. 8. ^Bowyer Bell (1997), p. 316. 9. ^1 Hanley & Millar (2009), p. 17. 10. ^Bowyer Bell (1990), p. 255. 11. ^Bowyer Bell (1990), p. 334.
