CIRA members on patrol
The Continuity Irish Republican Army (CIRA) is an Irish republican paramilitary group that split from the Provisional IRA in 1984 during "The Troubles". In 1994, the CIRA began to operate on its own, using grenade, rocket, mortar, bomb, and gun attacks to fight against British Army and the British occupation of Northern Ireland. However, the Real Irish Republican Army was more active than the CIRA, which killed only one policeman from 1998 to 2016.
