The families of three dead IRA men from Co Tyrone have told Provisional IRA and Sinn Fein they are not welcome at their graves tomorrow.
Traditionally on Easter Sunday wreaths are publicly laid on behalf of the leadership on the graves of all IRA members killed on "active service".
However, the families from Moy have told the Provisionals they do not want "any organisation which recognises partition" organising the wreath-laying ceremony.
Instead, the families of Sean and Padraig McKearney and Eugene Martin will hold their own ceremony. It is understood they are unhappy at the political direction of the Provisional IRA and Sinn Fein leadership.
The McKearneys are a well-known republican family in Co Tyrone. One of the sons, Tommy, is a former IRA hunger-striker and outspoken critic of the Belfast Agreement.
His brother, Padraig, was shot dead by the SAS in the failed IRA ambush of Loughgall RUC station in 1987. Another brother, Sean, and Eugene Martin were killed when their own bomb exploded prematurely in 1974.
The three men are buried together in Moy graveyard. A friend of both families, who asked not to be named, said: "The families have told the Provisionals they don't want wreaths laid by any organisation which recognises partition."
"They will be holding their own wreath-laying ceremony which is open to all members of the public to attend." Meanwhile, republican sources in Co Tyrone have admitted there are growing internal problems within the Provisionals in the county.
Two months ago, a former IRA prisoner and leading dissident in the area, Mr Paddy Fox, was beaten up by the Provisionals.
One source said the assault had backfired and, combined with growing disillusionment with the leadership's political strategy, was creating "major difficulties".
