I'm not 100% sure but I don't think it has anything to do with Ireland. I think it stands for something in Spanish

@GranadilloOmar Hey man, I appreciate it.. I gotta get to Barranquilla for a few reasons and would love a bi-lingual guide (my Spanish is rough, I'll admit it).

@skitsystem77 no man not at all. I.R.A. means ("Ideas de Revolución Adolescente") which means Ideas of Adolescent Revolution.

@PunkOutlawTV It stands for "Infección respiratoria aguda" accute respiratory illness. At the beginning of the band it was :" ideas de revulución adolescente" Adolescent revolutionary ideas. It doesn't have anything to do with the IRA.
