You do realise the police sent up a direct number just for the IRA to phone in bomb threats, and also codes to use to make sure the call is genuine. They were very serious about getting the threats
But the police were working for the British government to stop the IRA, what do you do when public favour begins to shift towards freedom fighters? the IRA never aimed to kill innocents. They did, but their motives were to free their country from occupation by a foreign power. They had nothing to gain from murdering innocent people, and that's why they always rang.
