I’m also having a hard time seeing how the IRA “failed”.

The Good Friday Agreement brought both Civil Rights and equal political representation for Northern Irish Catholics. It also gave a political avenue for further decolonization (including their ultimate goal of reunification with Ireland), making more terrorist activities kind of unnecessary.

I would consider that a pretty good results of violent resistance against your colonizer.
