The IRA was a terrorist organisation. It was one of the elements that kept the conflict going. It killed many people, including civilians, members of the British armed forces, police and members of rival terrorist organisations. Most of its activities were within Northern Ireland, but it did have some activities outside of it.

No. The Roman Empire got as far as Britain, Ireland's neighbouring island, but never reached Ireland.

So Northern Ireland was never part of the Roman empire.
