I picked it for a reason lol, the IRA did their best to avoid civilian casualties and primarily targeted property and icons of oppression (I consider occupying forces to be property)
I’m not saying they can’t be valid targets, but you don’t need to be paramilitary to be a collaborator, you can just have given testimony or something about what you saw one time and thereby be a collaborator.
Everyone always shits on the IRA (provos) specifically for the way they handled collaborators, but man, just look at how literally ever occupational war has been carried out since WW2. They were downright civil compared to literally every other conflict.
Certainly as guerillas in a colony existing right next to its colonial master, which was easily among the most powerful and depraved countries in the world, they were in an extremely desperate position throughout.
