The SAS was caught in the area of south of Crossmaglen by the Garda many times during this time period.

Hearsay then.
The SAS was caught? Why would the SAS not be in that area legitimately protecting British interests as it is their remit to do? Your posts indicates a heavy presence of activists who were threatening, one would expect appropriate counter-measures.
As to crossing the border, there are more controls on the border than the military. You implicate cross border controls like Immigration and Customs & Excise - departments which are not about to roll over to the military without clearing it through express written authority and even less likely to consider doing this without securing bulletproof, traceable assurance that there will be no repercussions for them.
This would leave a fair trail for any investigative journalist, you would expect it to appear in public by this time. Has it?
