Yeah, 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?

Currently, the association is for the "Internet Research Agency", which is the formal company name for a purported Russian based professional trolling firm.
