What IRA are they talking about? Are they saying the Provisionals, the one the agreement was with, are still active? Or are they saying the Continuity or Real ones, who didn’t exist at the time for there to be an agreement with, are active?

They are talking about the Provos. Apparently they still exist in some organized form, and are experiencing some sort of internal feud with the example of the two killings. The implication is that come election time, there would be some level of intimidation of the electorate in some districts if they are still active.
