Island of Ireland is not ready for a unification referendum

Republic of Ireland or Irish Republic all the same.

Article 4 of the Constitution of Ireland, adopted in 1937, provides that "the name of the State is Éire, or, in the English language, Ireland". Hence, the Irish state has two official names, Éire (in Irish) and Ireland (in English).

There is no such country as the Republic of Ireland either.

I have heard the Republic of Ireland being mentioned loads of times.

It’s the name of one soccer team. Nothing else.

Ireland is a Republic but that’s a description of our system of Government not a name.

Yeah but we have 4 provinces, Leinster, Munster, Connacht & Ulster.

Usage of that term comes from an argument between the Football Association of Ireland and the Irish Football Association as to who could field a team called Ireland.

Fifa coined the term Republic of Ireland. I believe it took a few more years for the Irish Football Association to agree to calling their team northern Ireland.

The name of the country is Éire or Ireland

Brutal!

Also, we could have Ireland's Call as National Anthem - enough to convince plenty to stick with status quo!!

Against that, we'd have to lose the requirement for compulsory Irish to Leaving cert as concession to Nordies - that may swing a few frazzled parents towards reunification. We'd have primary school teachers unable to string two words together in Irish.
