Even in the US, "IRA" commonly means "Individual Retirement Account" … which of course makes no sense in context. (Or, the IRA you're thinking of, too, isn't that unfamiliar.)

Even the correct expansion, "Inflation Reduction Act" … doesn't really seem to fit.

When I lived an hour from Boston (where a lot of Irish people with money used to send money to the Irish Republican Army) there was the joke that "Contributions to the IRA are not tax deductible" based on the double meaning such that contributions to an Individual Retirement Account are tax deductible.

Really? The terrorism of that IRA would certainly make sense in context. Kill people eating meat. Kill people using cars. Kill people living in a detached house. Kill people heating with gas.
