Who are the loyalist paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland?
The Ulster Volunteer Force murdered more than 500 people during the Troubles.
The Loyalist Volunteer Force was founded by Billy Wright, who was murdered in the Maze prison in December 1997. As the peace process gathered pace in the 1990s, Wright resisted it and he was eventually expelled from the UVF and ordered to leave Northern Ireland.It was banned by the government in June 1997 but it went on to murder a number of Catholics.But the guns it handed in for destruction were old, and formed only a small part of its arsenal - the LVF remained armed and ready for violence.
