They stand for the Irish Republican Army and the Provisional Irish Republican Army. Throughout Irish history, there have been several groups using the name IRA and there have been a number of splits resulting in new groups being set up. PIRA arose from one of those splits in December 1969, from a dispute about how to respond to violence in nationalist areas and whether to recognise the governments in Dublin, Belfast and London. PIRA wanted to be more radical in its response, than some of the older members of the IRA at that time.

Was there a conflict between the IRA and the Real IRA?
Most people would understand "The IRA" as the Provisional IRA. The "real" IRA,(I use the term very loosely), established themselves following the Good Friday Agreement, while the PIRA laid down their arms to persue republicanism by legislative, peaceful means. This would lead to some obvious tensions. While the leadership of the PIRA deny it, it is often assumed that the PIRA shot a RIRA member Joe O'Connor, back in 2000. There have also been bullets posted to Sinn Fein assembly members like John O'Dowd back around 2007, a traditional death threat. But no significant conflict no... There are some articles in related links concerning the conflicts.
