Fenian

The Fenians were members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood (IRB) in Ireland in the 1860s. They are essentially the pioneers of modern terrorism, and used violent methods in order to gain what they wanted - in this case they wanted Ireland to be made a Republic, separate from Britain and with their own Parliament.

Members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood were Fenians.

Fenian

A word that describes Irish Catholics, or Irish American Catholics, who are mostly Irish Republican, native to Ireland, and are Catholic. Fenian can be used as a slur to insult an Irish Catholic for their struggles in the Troubles in Northern Ireland, being discriminated against by the Loyalist Protestants who hated Irish Catholics.
