Best Answer

The US government is not held accountable for funding the IRA because the US government did not fund the IRA. Even though numerous citizens of the United States provided funds to the Irish Republican Army, it was never US state policy to support the IRA and, therefore, the US as a nation has no duty to compensate the victims of the IRA. If anyone should be held liable for the damage that the IRA wrought, it would be the fighters themselves and Sinn Féin as the legitimate heir to the IRA organization.
