The answer sounds funny, but it's true: everyone. Nearly every side involved was fighting. The Catholic paramilitary organisations included the Provisional IRA (Irish Republican Army), Real IRA, Continuity IRA, Official IRA, the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA), and the Irish People's Liberation Organisation (IPLO). The largest of this group was the PIRA, who are usually just know as the IRA. The Protestant paramilitary organisations included the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), The Ulster Defence Association (usually written as UDA/UFF because of its cover name), Red Hand Commandos (RHC), and the Loyalist Volunteer Force (LVF), The security forces were also known to fight dirty: the British Army (most notably the SAS), the RUC (Royal Ulster Constabulary, of the police) and the UDR, or the Ulster Defence Association, were all rumoured to have connections with Loyalist (Protestant) terrorist organisations.

There has not been fighting between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. There was fighting between England (Britain or the United Kingdom) and the Irish when all of Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. The treaty that ended that fighting created the Republic of Ireland in the south and Northern Ireland (still part of the United Kingdom) in the north. After that, the IRA (Irish Republican Army) used violent means to try to push the British forces out of Northern Ireland and reunite the entire island. However, the Republic of Ireland did not participate in that activity and did not fight the British in Northern Ireland.
