The Provisional Irish Republican Army (Provisional IRA) was an Irish republican paramilitary organization that sought to remove Northern Ireland from the United Kingdom and to bring about an independent socialist republic encompassing all of Ireland.
 It was the biggest and most active republican paramilitary group during the Troubles.
 It saw itself as the successor to the original IRA and called itself simply the Irish Republican Army (IRA), or "Óglaigh na hÉireann" in Irish, and was widely referred to as such by others.
Roll of Honour is an Irish Republican song, written by Gerry O'Glacain, that commemorates the 10 IRA and INLA hunger strikers who died during the 1981 Irish hunger strike in Northern Ireland.
 The names each of the men are contained in the lyrics of the song in the order that they died: Bobby Sands, (Francis) Hughes, Ray McCreesh, (Patsy) O'Hara, Joe McDonnell, Martin Hurson, Kevin Lynch, Kieran Doherty, Thomas McElwee and Michael Devine.
 The song describes the 10 as "Ireland’s bravest men" who were "Hungering for justice" and "For their rights as Irish soldiers and to free their native land".
 The song ends with the call to "Fight on and make our homeland a nation once again".
The Maze Prison escape (known to Irish republicans as the Great Escape) took place on 25 September 1983 in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
 HM Prison Maze (also known as Long Kesh) was a maximum security prison considered to be one of the most escape-proof prisons in Europe, and held prisoners convicted of taking part in armed paramilitary campaigns during the Troubles.
 In the biggest prison escape in UK history, 38 Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) prisoners escaped from H-Block 7 (H7) of the prison.
 One prison officer died of a heart attack as a result of the escape and twenty others were injured, including two who were shot with guns that had been smuggled into the prison.
 The escape was a propaganda coup for the IRA, and a British government minister faced calls to resign.
 The official inquiry into the escape placed most of the blame onto prison staff, who in turn blamed the escape on political interference in the running of the prison.
The 1980-81 British Home Championship was the only British Home Nations international football championship, other than the years of the First World War and Second World War, which was not completed and thus failed to produce a winner.
 As with the rugby union 1972 Five Nations Championship the cause of this cancellation was The Troubles in Northern Ireland.
 The championship was scheduled to be played in May 1981 after the termination of the domestic season.
 On 5 May, however, the Provisional Irish Republican Army hunger strike leader Bobby Sands died in the Maze Prison, invoking a storm of protest and violence by republicans in Northern Ireland.
 Thus the English and Welsh FAs, whose teams were scheduled to travel to Windsor Park later in the month, declined to play, rendering the tournament incomplete and void.
The 1981 Irish hunger strike was the culmination of a five-year protest during The Troubles by Irish republican prisoners in Northern Ireland.
 The protest began as the blanket protest in 1976, when the British government withdrew Special Category Status for convicted paramilitary prisoners.
 In 1978, after a number of attacks on prisoners leaving their cells to "slop out", the dispute escalated into the dirty protest, where prisoners refused to leave their cells to wash and covered the walls of their cells with excrement.
 In 1980, seven prisoners participated in the first hunger strike, which ended after 53 days.
Robert Gerard Sands (Irish: "Roibeárd Gearóid Ó Seachnasaigh" ; 9 March 19545 May 1981), commonly known as Bobby Sands, was an Irish member of the Provisional Irish Republican Army who died on hunger strike while imprisoned at HM Prison Maze.
Some Mother's Son is a 1996 film written and directed by Irish filmmaker Terry George, co-written by Jim Sheridan, and based on the true story of the 1981 hunger strike in the Maze Prison, in Northern Ireland.
 Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) prisoner Bobby Sands (played by John Lynch) led a protest against the treatment of IRA prisoners, claiming that they should be treated as prisoners of war rather than criminals.
 The mothers of two of the strikers, played by Helen Mirren and Fionnula Flanagan, fight to save their sons' lives.
 When the prisoners go on hunger strike and become incapacitated, the mothers must decide whether to abide by their sons' wishes, or to go against them and have them forcibly fed.
The 1971-72 British Home Championship was the first such Home Nations football tournament (although not the last), to suffer during The Troubles in Northern Ireland, when death threats from the Provisional Irish Republican Army were sent to the Scottish Football Association and Scottish players who were scheduled to play at Windsor Park.
 The surge in anti-British feeling which prompted these threats followed Bloody Sunday in January, and also resulted in the cancellation of the rugby union 1972 Five Nations Championship.
 As a result, Northern Ireland's home fixture was rescheduled to Hampden Park, effectively granting the Scottish team an extra home match.
 This was not the last time that The Troubles would interfere with the Home Championship; the 1981 British Home Championship would have to be abandoned following similar heightened tension after the death of Bobby Sands.
Her Majesty's Prison Maze (previously Long Kesh Detention Centre and known colloquially as the Maze Prison, The Maze, the H Blocks or Long Kesh) was a prison in Northern Ireland that was used to house paramilitary prisoners during the Troubles from mid-1971 to mid-2000.
Thomas McElwee (30 November 1957 - 8 August 1981) was an Irish republican who a participate in the 1981 hunger strike and a volunteer in the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA).
 From Bellaghy, County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, he died at the age of 23 after 62 days on hunger strike.
