It wasn't the Irish Republic that carried out the bombing. It was an illegal organisation called the IRA(Irish Republican Army) which sought the complete withdrawal of British forces from Northern Ireland. The organisation has now disarmed and abandoned its military ambitions. Its political counterpart, Sinn Fein, is now in Government and working with its former enemies to make the Northern Assembly work.

Why did the IRA bomb England?

There has been a long history (from Fenian times) through to the present of the IRA bombing English targets. In the 1970's this was done out of a sense of "one bomb in London is worth 100 in Belfast". Also, according to "Armed Struggle:The History of the IRA" by Richard English British negotiators had said during secret negotiations with the IRA that a large bombing campaign would persuade them to leave Northern Ireland.
