The Republic of Ireland has not officially been involved in any wars. However, their troops have faced combat situations during peacekeeping operations, such as the Congo Crisis. Otherwise, the Republic of Ireland has remained neutral. Irish volunteers did fight in the Boer Wars (both for the Boers and for the British), the First World War (all of Ireland was still a British territory at this time, and they served as members of the Royal Armed Forces), and the Spanish Civil War (with units composed of Irish personnel serving on both the Nationalist and Republican sides), but the only war an independent Irish government has been involved in was the Irish Civil War, during which time Ireland was independent - but not a Republic, as it is currently, but rather, a Free State of the British Commonwealth.

Did any wars occur in Ireland?

Many wars have occurred in Ireland. Various tribes in Ireland were constantly at war until the Island was conquered by the Puritans in the 1650s. When James I became King of England he moved a number of Protestants to Northern Ireland. In order to defend themselves agains the Irish they created the stockade. A number of these settlers then went to Jamestown in the Virginia colony and brought the stockade with them.
