Undo revision 928391 by EthanWright (talk)
The '''Irish Volunteers''' was a [[militia |paramilitary]] organisation founded in [[Ireland]] in 1913 in reponse to the establishment in 1912 of the [[Ulster Volunteers]], a paramilitary body pledged to fight any attempt to force [[Ulster]] to submit to a proposed [[Home Rule]] government in [[Dublin]] (the 'Home Rule' policy being proposed by the British Government sought to give certain powers of internal self-government to Ireland, which would still remain within the [[United Kingdom]]). It was dominated by members of the [[Irish Republican Brotherhood]], a republican secret society, and fought alongside the [[Irish Citizen Army]] in the failed [[Easter Rising]] of 1916. In 1919 the Irish Volunteers were reconstituted as the [[Irish Republican Army]] which are regarded as terrorists.
