Let's compare the IRA's record with other groupings:

British Security (i.e. RUC, British Army, UDR, etc.) are credited with 363 death of which 192 (or 53%) were civilians.

And Loyalist paramilitaries are credited with 991 death of which 864 (a whopping 87% were civilians).

Not only was the IRA much more discriminating than the Loyalist

paramilitaries,

there were much mroe discriminating that British security services.

<shrug>You run into the same problem as with the Palestinian deaths - the IRA don't wear uniforms so prove who was a "civilian" and who was a "soldier".
