A Paramilitary orginization in Ireland dedicated to the unification of Ireland though armed struggle. The modern IRA is the Provisional IRA, being formed in 1969-1970 after a ceasefire by the Official IRA. Originally formed for defence of the catholic community, the IRA soon began attacking military and police personal and even opened up a bombing campaign on the British mainland. Supplied mainly with weapons from Libya and funded by supporters in the US, the IRA is considered the most sophisticated paramilitary group in the world.

One of the most beautiful, kind, caring, and respectful girls you’ll ever meet! She’s probably a great athlete. Most likely plays basketball, volleyball and maybe badminton. Also very smart. Straight A student. Likes to sing a lot, and learn new things. She also is very talented in music arts and is a perfectionist when it comes to playing her instruments!

Ira is a beautiful girl. When you first meet her she is shy and quite. But she’ll turn into a sexbomb. She can give you the best night ever. But don’t break her because when she’s mad. She’ll give you all the karma she thinks you deserve

A militant Republican army which split from the Official IRA in 1969 because of their refusal of violence. Started off mostly as a defence group but soon began attacks on British military personell. Primarily a green Republican group but from the mid 70s adopted a Marxist-Leninist outlook. Members have been trained in Libya and by the PLO and have maintained links with them and various other groups, including ETA and FARC.
Groups that continue to use the name and have not given into British imperialism are the CIRA, RIRA and INLA.
