2006 Split
In October 2006, the South East Antrim Brigade of the UDA announced it would no longer give its support to the UPRG, but would henceforth align itself with a new body named Beyond Conflict, founded by Kirkham.

Kirkham's role within the UPRG is in doubt after he was expelled from the UDA for his role in this loyalist feud.

Famous quotes containing the word split:
“Some people ... can’t see the country for the money in their pockets. They think their state is the country, or the way they live is the country. And they’re willing to split the country because of it.”
—Dan Totheroh (1895–1976)
