4 provinces

There are 32 counties in the whole island. 26 in the Republic of Ireland and 6 in Northern Ireland.

There are only 4 provinces in Ireland: Ulster (shared between ROI and NI); Connaught, Leinster, and Munster (ROI).

There are currently four provinces on the island of Ireland: Ulster, Lenister, Munster and Connaught.

However, the term "province" is only an English approximation of the word "cuige" which, strictly specking, means "a fifth" but was also probably meant in older times as "a portion", i.e., a portion of the island.

As the term implies, there was five fifths or provinces in Ireland in former times: Ulaid (more or less what is now Ulster), Midhe (now reduced to a county in Lenister, but which one took up much of the midlands east of the Shannon), Lagain (now Lenister, including Midhe), Mumhan (Munster) and Connacht (which, however, formerly counted Clare as a part of it; it now lies in Munster).

Yet this was never an entirely fixed fact, as other areas, such as Ossary and Airgialla were from time to time counted as fifths.

Ireland is an island containing two countries:

  1. The Republic of Ireland
  2. Northern Ireland

On the bigger part of it there is the country "Republic of Ireland". The northeastern part of the island of Ireland there is "Northern Ireland" that is a region belonging to the United Kingdom.

So, in short, there is a full country and part of another.

BTW this is a VERY - VERY sensitive issue.
