As far as I understand it they are not the same organisation.
What you mean by the IRA is probably the Provisional IRA. The Official IRA (Marxist and known as the "stickies") itself has been defunct since the early 1970s and PIRA was formed by hardliners leaving OIRA. The Real IRA has been formed by hardliners leaving PIRA. If history repeats itself then most people will probably end up refering to RIRA as IRA anyway, since the distinction between these organisations will probably be of little interest to the family of someone killed.

Will someone tell them to cut it out? That's what trademark and other WIPO laws are for. This name collision stuff has gone too far. I mean, which one of them is going to sue "IRAsucks.com" when that's registered?
