Michael Collins helped established an Irish Free state by negotiating the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1921 which was ratified in Ireland by 1922. He was Commander-in-Chief in the Free-State Army. Died on August 22, 1922 by a group of Anti-Treaty IRA. His biggest impact is creating a Free Ireland, but he also organized the Original Irish Republican Army during the Irish War of Independence.
Only the Irish from Ulster (Northern Ireland) would have been conscripted because the Irish Free State was neutral during WW2 and Ulster was still (and still is today) part of the United Kingdom.

1921
The Irish Republican Army was formed to fight for an independent Irish Republic, which had been occupied by Britain for somewhere around 700 years. Finally, the British offered a treaty in which Ireland would become a Free State, with membership in the Commonwealth, and with loyalty sworn to the British monarch. Additionally, six counties in Ulster would remain British. The treaty passed with the people of Ireland, but met with strong opposition, particularly from the IRA. The Irish Free State Army was established as the official armed force of Ireland, while the IRA remained as an anti-treaty force. They fought each other in a civil war, with the Irish Free State being the victor in that dispute. Groups calling themselves IRA today really don't have as much in common with the IRA under Michael Collins as they claim to, but their declared intent is to force the British to capitulate the remaining six counties to Ireland. Additionally, most of them see the government of Ireland as illegitimate.

Assuming you are asking about Liam O'Flaherty's short story, the factions are the Irish Republican Army (the IRA), of which the main character is a member, and the Irish Free State.
The Irish Republican Army in its original form managed to achieve independence for Ireland from the British. However, the original treaty established Ireland as a Free State and Commonwealth Dominion, and it wasn't until the end of the Irish Civil War - where the anti-Treaty forces of the Irish Republican Army were defeated - that an amendment was made to the Irish Constitution which relinquished Dominion status and established the country as a republic.
That's easy. the IRA's objective was to attempt make Ireland a free state and to achive it's own goverment.
