IRA ceasefire

The IRA ceasefire refers to a formal pause in the Irish Republican Army's armed campaign for Irish reunification. This ceasefire was a strategic step to promote peace and negotiations with the British government and others, aiming to end violence and advance political solutions. The most notable ceasefire occurred in 1994, leading to the Good Friday Agreement in 1998, which helped reduce conflict and established measures for sharing power in Northern Ireland. Ceasefires are vital for creating space for dialogue, building trust, and working toward long-term peace and stability.
