Their claim to the exclusive 'Óglaigh na hÉireann' title

Hi Charles,

They should not be referred to using the exclusive, historical title Óglaigh na hÉireann without qualification. The name has passed to the Defence Forces of the Republic of Ireland - the legitimate title holders as it were. None of these entities deny that it is an exclusive title.

This is also a problem on other articles, for example the Provisional IRA article - that is the subject of current and future discussions best avoided on new Wikipedia articles such as this one.

They fact that they lay claim to be this exclusive title and dispute the Defence Forces as the genuine title holders should be noted. The term should not be used otherwise.
