It does not make sense to me that a restriction of a name to "(country)" should be considered to refer to the island. Red King made this a disambiguation page 11 August 2008; Rockpocket attributed the name "Republic of Ireland" to the country 1 November 2008; and 84.203.49.145 added a line (with typos) about the naming controversy. I just now corrected the typos and removed the claim that "Republic of Ireland" is the name of the country.

I suggest removing this from being a disambiguation page even before the naming issue for the pages for the country and island of Ireland is resolved. I suggest it be reverted to the forwarding page that it was prior to 11 August 2008 Dfoxvog (talk) 18:30, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Given that this article has just become another edit-warring battleground in the ongoing dispute about Ireland (state) v Ireland (island), yes I accept the argument and so have undone my original disambiguation and all series of edits that arose from it. But it should be recognised that, to a large body of people (including Rugby, for one), Ireland is a country that is divided between two jurisdictions/states ['Ireland' and 'the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'] - which is why I introduced the disambig. But it is contentious and this is not the article to debate it. --Red King (talk) 18:41, 19 February 2009 (UTC).[reply]
