We could call them both Eyre (Papist) and Eyre (Damned) and annoy
everyone even more thoroughly, although I sincerely doubt anything will
work in the opposite direction and calm the situation. Someone said at
the beginning of this that this is one of those longstanding
disagreements; I concur it will not be easily or even perhaps ever
resolved. Take it back to the 'pedia, via talk pages and dispute
resolution, as whatever happens on this list it cannot by definition
resolve any content dispute on wiki.
One puppy's opinion.

Annoy and mislead both sides equally :-)
More seriously, what I don't understand here is why there's opposition
to primary disambiguation at [[Ireland]], at least as a temporary
measure - I get the impression there's not any broad support for the
current approach as the best option, and almost everyone seems to
concur "Republic of Ireland" isn't very good. You seem to be the one
with experience of the fight...
