What country is the IRA from?

The IRA is from Ireland. The name stands for Irish Republican Army, although different organizations have used the initials at different times.

The original Irish Republican Army emerged from the Irish War of Independence, fought against British rule from 1919 to 1921. After the partition of Ireland, republican groups continued to oppose the existence of Northern Ireland within the United Kingdom and sought a united, independent Ireland.

During the Troubles, the term IRA most commonly referred to the Provisional IRA, which emerged in 1969. It conducted an armed campaign primarily in Northern Ireland, while also carrying out attacks in England and elsewhere, with the stated aim of ending British rule in Northern Ireland and achieving Irish reunification.

“Ireland” is the fair quiz answer, though the IRA operated on both sides of the border and was especially associated with Northern Ireland. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, not a separate sovereign country.
