The Irish invented the space between words. Originally, words had no spaces which made reading Latin hard for the newly Christian Irish, especially since Roman rule did not stretch this far. To help us learn, we separated the words. Other countries though this was a good idea and started doing the same.

The practice of carving Jack O Lanterns is an Irish tradition. They are traditionally carved into Turnips, but pumpkins were more available in America than turnips so the Irish immigrants would use those instead.

Spiral staircases in medieval castles are running clockwise. This is because all knights used to be right-handed. When the intruding army would climb the stairs they would not be able to use their right hand which was holding the sword because of the difficulties of climbing the stairs. Left-handed knights would have had no troubles, except left-handed people could never become knights because it was assumed that they were descendants of the devil.

If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

The Bomb disposal Robot was invented by the British to counter the IRA. It's previous method involved prodding suspicious looking cars and seeing if they blew up.

In America some IRA members were arrested for illegally purchasing weapons. A search of their accommodation found detailed plans of a rocket launcher. The rocket launcher would have been easy to carry and fire on the move and accurate enough to hit British helicopters (they used helicopters because of the IRA snipers, also the reason they rarely landed the helicopters). The design was using easy to get materials.
The plans were so accurate that it was decided that they would not be used as evidence for fear that people would make them.

The IRA had planted a bomb in the bathroom of a hotel one floor below where Margret Thatcher was going to be staying. They had planted it 6 months before. The timing on the bomb was perfect and it was not found until it detonated.
The only problem was that an unexpected change occurred and Margret Thatcher was in a different room.
Keep in mind that the IRA was a small Militia and they managed to do all this. Also, when she made her "Ha ha, I lived, you suck, UK number 1" speech they sent a letter saying:
"We only have to be lucky once, you have to be lucky every time."
