Ira is a good person to be around, a loyal and trustworthy friend, he is always their when you need him. He doesn't check his text messages very often. Ira has a funny personality, and storms away when he's mad.

The IRA were once a proud organisation who stood up against military oppression and dreamt of a United Ireland. However, up until recently, grew into a bunch of evil thugs who thought bombing innocent people and using then as shields from bullets was an acceptable means of warfare.

They were intelligent, as they knew every nook and cranny of their homeland and how to disappear easily after engaging the security forces. However, this was the only tactic they were reasonably good at, as they could not wage open warfare on the enemy, as was proved on occasions when they tried and were slaughtered.

Fortunately, the British Special Air Service were able to wage a relatively successful counter-terrorism campaign on them. This includes The Loughall Ambush in 1987, when an entire bombing division of the East Tyrone Brigade were wiped out, and Operation Flavius in Gibraltar, 1988, when four undercover bombers were killed.
We should admire the days of the Old IRA and the Irish War of Independance. They were a formidable enemy. They stood up for what they believed in and fought herorically against one of the most well-trained armies in the world. But the Provisional IRA are terrorists. A whole world apart from their ancestors.

Organised criminal gang which operates in Northern Ireland and Eire. Their main efforts are spent nowadays on smuggling, drug dealing, protection rackets, robbery and handing out beatings to Nationalist people who cross them.

As a sideline, they also used to dabble in terrorism. Al Qeada and the Tamil Tigers are committed terrorists as they are willing to die to achieve their ends. The IRA were only ever involved in terrorism (think of bacon and eggs - the chicken was involved, but the pig was committed) and preferred to leave a bomb on a time somewhere in London, and slip home before it went off. The only times that they dared to face the British Army directly, such as Gibraltar and Loughgall Police Station, the Army slaughtered them.
The IRA are part time terrorists and full time criminals.
