- lostmsu 9y agoDo you mean the individual retirement accounts? /s
- cyberferret 9y agoGood point. Similar age group I am guessing, but this is also a US-centric interpretation. The Irish Republican Army was probably more recognisable by their TLA worldwide back in the 70's and 80's.
- digi_owl 9y agoWell into the 90s i would say.
- delerio 9y agoYeah, I always thought IRA was the main acronym for the "Irish Republican Army". Weird that they used IRA in this article to mean something else. Has the main association changed?
- cyberferret 9y agoCurrently, the association is for the "Internet Research Agency", which is the formal company name for a purported Russian based professional trolling firm.
- meric 9y agoWe've always been at war with IRA.
