Irish slang for...something. A bandit/robber/thief I think.

'Tory' was the name used by the British Conservative Party when it was founded in 1689. It comes from an old Gaelic word meaning 'robber'. Presumably they thought it meant something different.

From Wikipedia
The term originates from the Wars of the Three Kingdoms and English Civil War of the 1640s and '50s, when it was used to describe Irish guerrilla fighters. For this usage, see Rapparees. It entered English politics during the Exclusion Bill crisis of 1678–1681. The Whigs (initially an insult — whiggamore, a cattle driver) were those who supported the exclusion of James II from the thrones of England, Ireland and Scotland (the "Petitioners"), and the Tories (from the Irish term tóraidhe, modern Irish tóraí — outlaw, robber) were those who opposed it (the Abhorrers).
