Téarma

Téarma is a term used in the Irish language, specifically in the Irish language of the Republic of Ireland. It is a loanword from the English language, and it is used to refer to a person who is a member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA). The term is often used in a derogatory manner by those who oppose the IRA, and it is generally considered offensive by those who support the IRA. The term is not widely used outside of Ireland, and it is not recognized as an official term in the Irish language. Despite this, it has become a part of the Irish language and is used in various contexts, including literature, music, and politics. The use of the term is a subject of ongoing debate in Ireland, with some arguing that it is a necessary part of the Irish language, while others argue that it is a divisive and offensive term.
