The proper term for what people call southern Ireland is the Republic of Ireland. The most southerly point of Ireland is Mizen Head, in Co. Cork which is in the Republic of Ireland. The most northerly point of Ireland is Malin Head, in Co. Donegal, which is also in the Republic of Ireland. Northern Ireland consists of 6 of Ireland's 32 counties, but neither the most northerly or southerly point of Ireland is in Northern Ireland. The most westerly point is also in the Republic of Ireland, in Co. Kerry, but the most easterly point is in Co. Down in Northern Ireland. See the map below, which shows all the counties of Ireland, with the 6 yellow ones being those in Northern Ireland.

The Republic of Ireland is often used, but the official name is Éire in the Irish language and Ireland in English. Southern Ireland is an incorrect term. In fact the most northerly point on the island of Ireland, is not in Northern Ireland, but actually in what many people call southern Ireland. So "Southern Ireland" is an incorrect term both as an official name and geographically.
