But wasn't the Provos (provisional IRA/real IRA) which I am guessing most percieved as a terrorist group (they imported arms from Libya didn't they?) did more harm than good to the peace protest?

No, Sinn Fein were perfectly willing to (and did) engage in peace talks, if they wanted to do harm to the peace protest then surely calling a ceasefire 6 years ago wouldn't have been the smartest plan?
(and they imported arms from Scotland, Wales, Libya, Canada, USA and various other places)
