==Modern usage== *The name ''Red Branch Knights'' was used by a [[Ulster loyalism|loyalist]] paramilitary group from Northern Ireland in September 1992 to claim responsibility for [[Incendiary bomb|incendiary devices]] and a [[blast bomb]] left in a Dublin-based bank in [[Newtownabbey]]. Statements were sent to the media threatening action against anyone with political or economic links with the Republic of Ireland. They are not known to have been responsible for any casualties during [[the Troubles]].<ref>[http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/othelem/organ/rorgan.htm Conflict Archive in Northern Ireland]</ref> *A Belfast Celtic group also goes by the name ''Craobh Rua''.<ref>[https://craobhrua.com/ Celtic Music Group: Craobh Rua]</ref> *The name "Knights of the Red Branch" was also used by an Irish Catholic fraternal organization in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and San Francisco, California in the 19th and early to mid 20th centuries.<ref>Bernard Donahue, Obituary of Francis P. Donahue, ''Philadelphia Inquirer'', 20 Sept. 1911</ref> The society was originally a patriotic and military organization in Ireland but functioned as a fraternal and beneficial society in America in the early 20th Century.<ref>Philadelphia Inquirer 27 Oct. 1909</ref>
