So Ireland as the Republic or the State or whatever term you choose to use is clearly about what happened in the part that successfully cast off the shackles of occupation since 1922. For certain partisans of the "Republic" to assume a monopoly on the name, Ireland, seems an improper usurpation of the name for personal ends.
We haven't proposed that. We proposed "Ireland (state)".
I come at it from the opposite perspective. To have the article on the 26-county Republic at [[Ireland (state)]] would be to gloss over the fact that it is an incomplete Republic.
