organizers and the police some time in advance (there is a statutory duty to give notice of certain public processions to the police), and the Government knows of no circumstances where conditions have been imposed at the last moment. 276. Section 1 of the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1989 (which replaced similar provisions in the 1974, 1976 and 1984 Acts of the same title) does however enable the Secretary of State to proscribe in Great Britain any organization that appears to him to be concerned in terrorism occurring in the United Kingdom connected with Northern Irish affairs, or in promoting or encouraging it. The Irish Republican Army (both provisional and official wings) has been proscribed since 1974, and the Irish National Liberation Army since 1979. No other organization has yet been proscribed in Great Britain. For the purposes of this legislation, terrorism is described as "the use of violence for political ends, and includes any use of violence for the purpose of putting the public or any section of the public in fear". 277. The power to proscribe in this legislation does not extend to Northern Ireland itself, where the power of proscription is conferred by section 21 of the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1978 and section 9 of the Northern Ireland (Emergency Provisions) Act 1987. The power to proscribe is used only against organizations which are actively and primarily engaged in the commission of criminal terrorist acts. In Northern Ireland, the following organizations are proscribed: the Irish Republican Army, the Irish National Liberation Army, the Ulster Volunteer Force, the Ulster Freedom Fighters, Cumann na mBan, Fianna na hEireann, the Red Hand Commando and Saor Eire. 278. It is an offence under the 1978, 1987 and 1989 Acts to belong to a proscribed organization; to solicit support for or contribute to the resources 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing legislation and policies related to terrorism and public order in the United Kingdom, specifically in relation to the proscription of certain organizations and the implications for public processions. It does not seem to be related to any of the traditional economic or social sectors, such as industry, transport, or education.
