I couldn't determine the source of this information, but it is a fruther discussion or IRA drug dealing. One could consider this quite biased, because it seems to be an RUC report, but it discusses Loyalist drug dealing as well:

At a Scottish drugs conference last year, an RUC officer told delegates that up to 60 per cent of the funding for Loyalist paramilitaries, such as the Ulster Defence Force and Ulster Volunteer Force, now come from drugs. Couriers, he claimed, make regular trips to Scotland to collect and deliver drugs.
Meanwhile, the RUC considers the IRA-backed Direct Action Against Drugs to be no more than a front, which executes known dealers, not out of some sense of social obligation, but to eliminate the competition. The important question is, as the IRA tighten their grip on Northern Ireland's drug scene - ceasefire or not - will Irish dealers move into the mainland market?
