Provisional Irish Republican Army
The Irish Republican Army (IRA; ), also known as the Provisional Irish Republican Army, and informally as the Provos, was an Irish republican paramilitary organisation that sought to end British rule in Northern Ireland, facilitate Irish reunification and bring about an independent, socialist republic encompassing all of Ireland. It was the most active republican paramilitary group during the Troubles. It saw itself as the army of the all-island Irish Republic and as the sole legitimate successor to the original IRA from the Irish War of Independence. It was designated a terrorist organisation in the United Kingdom and an unlawful organisation in the Republic of Ireland, both of whose authority it rejected. The Provisional IRA emerged in December 1969, due to a split within the previous incarnation of the IRA and the broader Irish republican movement. It was initially the minority faction in the split compared to the Official IRA, but became the dominant faction by 1972. T ...

Kia Provo
The Kia Provo is a 3-door subcompact hatchback concept revealed by South Korean automobile manufacturer Kia at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Name Some media outlets, such as ''Car and Driver'' and ''Motor Trend'', speculated that the Kia Provo might be named after the city of Provo, Utah, as Hyundai-Kia has previously named other vehicles after places in the western United States, such as with the Hyundai Tucson and Santa Fe and Kia Sedona, however it is unconfirmed what the name actually means.
