Ireland is the English language equivalent of Eire. Eire is the Irish name for the island of Ireland. Its not the only name used in the Irish language others such as Banbha were used. Eire was a princess of the Tuatha de Danaan the semi-mythical early Celts who assumed god-like charachteristcs. Ireland is named after her.
They're usually called "street vendors"! Historically, however, certain types had specific names - "Costermongers" were licenced vendors of fruit & vegetables; some traditionalist Cockneys still use the term; "coster" is frequently used to describe any type of licenced street vendor. "Cobble merchants"(ie someone selling "on the cobbles", that is, in the street) is another term in wide usage "Flim Flam Men" were Italian ice cream sellers (late C19th), and anyone selling goods in a street market was/ is often called a "Barraboy"(Barrow boy) because traditionally they operated from wheeled barrows. The terms "pedlar" & "tinker" may still be heard, usually to describe unlicenced vendors selling cheap (and often, it's suspected, rightly or wrongly, stolen) goods out of suitcases. Undesirable looking types selling goods of doubtful provenance in the street may also be called - perjoratively - "pikeys". This term may be considered racist by some because it's a commonplace English term/ insult often used of gypsies. Vendors operating legitimately in licenced street markets usually have a regular site for their stalls, and, therefore, are often called "pitch holders"; in this context, "a pitch" being a location designated for the specific purpose of selling goods.
Typically, the word 'tinkers' refers to Irish pikeys.
