Irish Republican Army
(Redirected from IRA)
The Irish Republican Army (IRA), and derived names (such as the Provisional Irish Republican Army), are names used by various terrorist organisations in Ireland throughout the 20th and the 21st century, fighting British rule, and since 1922 claiming all Ireland should be a single republic (i.e: opposing the existence of Ulster/Northern Ireland). They also have a political party front, Sinn Féin, which has a considerable standing across [Ireland]].
The IRA have been responsible for appalling actions and atrocities, the murders of civilians, Members of Parliament, police, and military, killing over 1800 people in Northern Ireland alone in the later 20th century.[1]
