Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, many paramilitary organizations in Ireland were known as the Irish Republican Army (IRA). This name has been given to organizations dedicated to Irish republicanism, the view that Ireland as a whole should be an independent republic free of British domination.
The original Irish Republican Army (19191922), also known as the “old IRA,” was formed in 1917 from members of the Irish Volunteers and Irish Citizen Army, and later reinforced by Irishmen who had previously served in the British Army during World War I and returned to Ireland to fight against Britain in the Irish War of Independence. This IRA was the revolutionary Irish Republic’s army, according to Irish law, as announced by the Irish parliament, Dáil Éireann, in 1919.
The original IRA was reorganized, modified, and divided numerous times during the next century, to the point where many succeeding paramilitary organizations most notably the Provisional Irish Republican Army, which was a prominent participant during the Troubles were known by that name. Each of the modern IRA organizations claims exclusive rights to use the name, claiming to be the only true successors of the original IRA.
