The Irish National Invincibles, usually known as the Invincibles, were a militant organisation based in Ireland active from 1881 to 1883. Founded as splinter group of the Irish Republican Brotherhood,[1] the group had a more radical agenda, and was formed with an intent to target those who implemented English policies in Ireland.[2]
