After the outcome of the 1998 Good Friday agreement, which was thought to end The Troubles, and led to the Provisional IRA decomissioning its weapons. The mainstream loyalist paramilitaries did not end their armed campaigns and continued attacks against catholics despite supposedly being on ceasfire, and smaller paramilitaries such as the Red Hand Defenders and Orange Volunteers formed after the Drumcree Parade dispute of 1998 in protest to the actions of the RUC and British Army blocking the Orange Order parade. These smaller groups were not on ceasfire, and did not have the same resources as the mainstream Loyalist paramilitaries. The dissident loyalist campaign also started as a reaction to the campaign from dissident republicans which still continues today but on a larger scale.

| - After the outcome of the 1998 Good Friday agreement, which was thought to end The Troubles, and led to the Provisional IRA decomissioning its weapons. The mainstream loyalist paramilitaries did not end their armed campaigns and continued attacks against catholics despite supposedly being on ceasfire, and smaller paramilitaries such as the Red Hand Defenders and Orange Volunteers formed after the Drumcree Parade dispute of 1998 in protest to the actions of the RUC and British Army blocking the Orange Order parade. These smaller groups were not on ceasfire, and did not have the same resources as the mainstream Loyalist paramilitaries. The dissident loyalist campaign also started as a reaction to the campaign from dissident republicans which still continues today but on a larger scale. Like with Dissident Republicans, the campaign of violence from dissident loyalists is not on the same scale as during the Troubles, which resulted in the deaths of 3,500 people. To date, one RUC police officer, one former PIRA member, and 39 civilians have been killed. Many members of the mainstream paramilitries have also been killed in a series of major Loyalist Feuds of 1999 - 2005.
