A group which protected the irish people from the british army. fought for a united ireland where the british empire had no say over the country. also helped fight for catholic rights in northern ireland. the catholic minority were treated as 2nd class citizens causing them to be likened to the blacks in america. many held a high regard for the ira during the troubles as they offered protection from the largely sectarian RUC(police force). they used violence both as a defence and later to attack the british. the british labled them as terrorists and many suspected of being a member of the ira were badly treated.
