When did the IRA disband?

The IRA disbanded in 1923 after the civil war. The modern equivalents of the IRA such as the Provisional IRA decommissioned their arms and ended their service in 2005. Splinter groups like the Real IRA and Continuity IRA are still active, just about. But are not currently engaged in an armed campaign.


What is the difference between the IRA and PIRA?

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. the PIRA is just a special group of the IRA type this URL for more http://iraforever.wetpaint.com/page/The+IRA


Are the IRA Catholic?

The IRA has had both catholic and protestant members. Ireland has a catholic majority of around 75% so most in the IRA were catholics, but they did have many protestant members. Names like George Plant, Jack White from Broughshane in County Antrim, George Gilmore from Portadown and Erskine Childers are well known protestant IRA members. The IRA in belfast had protestant commanders such as Billy Smith, Rex Thompson and John Graham. They were nicknamed 'The Prod Squad'. Ivor Bell was another protestant IRA member who was on the Provisional IRA Army Council. The I.N.L.A was founded by a protestant Ronnie Bunting and Noel Lyttle was also a protestant member of the I.N.L.A Irish republicanism was founded by a Protestant Wolfe Tone who once said; "To subvert the tyranny of our execrable government, to break the connection with England, the never-failing source of all our political evils and to assert the independence of my country- these were my objectives. To unite the whole people of Ireland, to abolish the memory of all past dissensions, and to substitute the common name of Irishman in place of the denominations of Protestant, Catholic and Dissenter - these were my means."- Any religion can be a member of the IRA However, to give an indication of the likely statistics, the Sutton index of deaths records that, of the 394 Republican dead from the recent troubles, 366 were Catholic, 3 were Protestant and 25 were 'not from Northern Ireland' (Mostly from the Republic of Ireland and probably mostly Catholic)

Why has Sinn Fein always supported the IRA even when it has committed such inhumane acts of terrorism?

sinn fein and the IRA are two sides of the same coin, same differing methods but each implicitly supports the other.AnswerA quick note - Sinn Fein has not always supported the IRA, and was not at first implicitly involved with them. For example, when the IRA was the IRB (Irish Republican Brotherhood) at the time of the Easter Rising of 1916, the IRB/A did not even inform Sinn Fein that it was to take place, and the two did not work together. However, Sinn Fein gre infamous because they became somehow implied with the rising and so were benefitted by a reputation of hardline actions for independence.Sinn Fein does not rule or give orders to the IRA, and is a different organisation. I personally do not condone the measures which the IRA take in their attempts at a complete Irish Republic, but Sinn Fein is nowadays a political party, who represents the views of many members of the IRA about the need for a republic, and independence throughout Ireland etc, but does not represent terrorist views. In short, Sinn Fein has little control over the IRA, and though I'm sure many members are involved in bothg roups and believe in both idealogies, Sinn Fein has always publicly condemned acts of Terrorism from the IRA.AnswerAs a matter of fact, it is only in recent years that Sinn Fein has condemmed a few, SELECTIVE acts of violence by the IRA. Omagh in 1998 was the very first time in their existence that they did so. They refused time and time again to do so in the past, and to this day still refuse to call IRA acts of violence criminal; they merely state that they are wrong. And seeing as the President, Vice-President of Sinn Fein (Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness) as well as T.D. Martin Ferris have not only being members and commanders of the IRA for decades, as well as sitting on the IRA Army Council for several years, it can be said that Sinn Fein does in fact dictate to the IRA.AnswerI have never heard Sinn Fein condemn any act committed by the Provisional IRA. Recently they have said that one or two should not have happened. They did indeed condemn Omagh but that was carried out by the Real IRA

Self-directed IRA loans can be used to provide financial assistance to family members by allowing the IRA holder to lend money from their IRA to a family member in need. This can be a way to help family members with financial needs while potentially earning interest on the loan. However, it is important to follow IRS rules and regulations regarding IRA loans to avoid penalties.

What is the Irish republican army's email?

The IRA isn't a single, unitary organization, and has often been divided by factionalism (e.g., Real IRA, Continuity IRA, Provisional IRA, Original IRA, etc.). Thus, they don't have an email. Not to mention that posting an "official" email address would not fare them well, as those can be easily monitored, their access points traced, and this can ultimately lead to the capture of their members.

Can you invest your self directed IRA in an operating LLC?

There are several reasons to make self directed investments through an IRA LLC.To Purchase Non-traditional Assets - The primary reason people form IRA LLCs is to use their IRA funds to make self directed investments in "non-traditional" assets selected by the IRA owner. Most IRA custodians limit the types of assets in which the IRA can invest to stocks, bonds, mutual funds, annuities, CDs and similar "traditional" investments. Traditional investments are numerous, but consist of only a fraction of the possible assets that people desire to purchase and hold for investment."Checkbook control" - The IRA owner can be the manager of a manager managed IRA LLC, but the IRA owner cannot be compensated for services or use his or her funds to pay any of the IRA LLC's expenses.Asset Protection for the IRA Owner - The general rule of Arizona law is that the manager of an Arizona LLC is not liable for the debts or obligations of the LLC.Asset Protection for Non-IRA Owners - The general rule of Arizona law is that the members (owners) of an Arizona LLC are not liable for the debts or obligations of the LLC. This is an especially important factor when the IRA LLC has members who are not IRAs.To Pool Assets with Other Investors - When the cost to acquire an asset exceeds the funds available to a single investor, multiple investors may pool their funds to purchase the asset. The best way for multiple investors to pool assets is through an IRA limited liability company. The IRA and other investors contribute money to the IRA LLC that uses the funds to purchase the asset. An IRA LLC can have multiple members including more than one IRA, people and entities as long as the prohibited transaction rules are not violated.To Create an Organizational & Management Structure When There are Multiple Members - Whenever there are multiple owners of a valuable asset, they need a set of rules and policies that will govern their common investment. The IRA LLC provides the governing structure, rules and policies applicable to how the joint owners will operate the company and deal with its assets. When you are a co-investor with others in a valuable asset, you should never rely on oral statements or agreements. You must have a written document that governs your arrangement. The Operating Agreement signed by all of the members is the foundational governing document.When the Asset is "Complex" - If the asset to be purchased is "complex" then an IRA LLC is needed. For example, if you want to use self-directed IRA funds to purchase a ten unit apartment complex, you should form an IRA LLC to own and operate the apartments. Neither you nor your IRA custodian will want the IRA custodian to be involved in the day to day operations of the business such as paying utilities, depositing rent checks, signing leases, evicting tenants or any of the other common management tasks that arise from owning an apartment complex.
