While I have no difficulty with [[Ireland (state)]]. I think that reducing [[Iteland]] to a disambiguation page diminishes the term. There is nothing in what your proposal that would adequately deal with pre-1922 Ireland.
Why not? Presumably the various pre-1922 entities under the same name would also be on the disambiguation page - see, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany_(disambiguation)
