Why is this article so focused on the North-South dispute? A more regular format, like the Iceland page might be better.▼
Also, on the subject of Iceland - Isn't that the second largest Island in Europe?▼
:Iceland is an island which is completely covered by the state also called Iceland. Ireland isn't the same. This page is about the island, and [[Republic of Ireland]] is about the Republic. [[User:Marnanel|Marnanel]] 19:50, Apr 15, 2004 (UTC)▼
==Irish Republic or The Republic==
*Ireland or '[[Éire]]', capital - [[Dublin]], also referred to as the [[Republic of Ireland]] or 'the [[Republic]]', but strictly not the '[[Irish Republic]]'; (--[[User:213.94.217.98|213.94.217.98]] 09:59, 15 Apr 2004 (UTC) This is wrong. The modern state is Irish, and it's the only extant republic that adjective can describe. It is entirely reasonable and accurate to refer to it as the Irish Republic.)

This makes no sense if by "Ireland" it means the island, since EU members are states and not pieces of land. If it means the Republic, it should be on the page about the Republic. If it means that both states holding territory on the island became EU members at the same time, then it's inconsequential (as well as a rather convoluted way to express the idea).
