Is it true the British government planted agents in the IRA who then committed violent acts to make the IRA look bad?

Sure, the CIA, and FBI are also known for what is called "Black Ops" (aka Agents provocateurs)

I remember (c 1976) an anecdote, about a Motorcycle Club, turned out that everybody except the founder/president were undercover agents from one agency or another.
