Irish Republican Army
(Redirected from IRA)
The Irish Republican Army (IRA), and derived names, are names used by various terrorist organisations in Ireland throughout the 20th and the 21st century, claiming all Ireland should be a single republic, independent from British rule. They also have a political party front, Sinn Féin, which has a considerable standing in Northern Ireland.
The IRA have been responsible for appalling atrocities and murders of civilians, Members of Parliament, police, and military, killing over 1800 people.[1]
