Are Scotland and Ireland part of the UK?
England, Wales and Scotland are part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Six of the 32 counties in the island of Ireland are called Northern Ireland and are also part of the United Kingdom. The rest of Ireland is not part of the UK, and is a separate, independent country called 'Ireland', or 'Eire' in Irish, or the 'Republic of Ireland' if one needs to differentiate between it and Northern Ireland. Officially, the country is simply called 'Ireland'.
The full name of the UK is The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and it consists of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The short names are United Kingdom and Britain. It includes the island of Great Britain plus 6 of the 32 counties of the island of Ireland.
Amendment
It includes Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England. If one states, as above, "...the island of Great Britain plus 6 of the 32 counties of the island of Ireland..." it misses out the inner and outer Hebrides, Orkney, Shetland etc.
Do people need a passport to go to the Republic of Ireland?
In most cases, Yes. But the situation is complex.
Officially, citizens of the UK or Ireland don't need a passport to enter Ireland from the UK, but all other nationalities do. But you need some form of ID to prove you are an Irish or British citizen, and the only form of ID generally accepted are a drivers license or a passport. The drivers license must be a UK or Irish license and you must have been born in the UK or Ireland. This is because the drivers license doesn't state your citizenship, only your place of birth. To use it as evidence of citizenship, you have to have been born in either the UK or Ireland. Technically, only those born in the UK before 1983 can use their license to travel, this is because UK law was changed in 1983 and anyone born after this date is not guarenteed to be a citizen. In short, you may enter Ireland from the UK without a passport if: * You are a UK citizen, or
* You are an Irish citizen, and
* You are born in the UK before 1983 or in Ireland, and
* You have a full UK or Irish drivers license Anyone else needs a passport. If you needed a visa to enter the UK, you need a new Irish visa to enter Ireland.
These rules are enforced in the airports and to a lesser degree in the shipping ports, but hardly at all on the land border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. When entering the Republic from Northern Ireland, non-UK and Irish citizens (including all EU nationals) are technically required to register their passport at the nearest Garda station (Police station), but this rule is not enforced at all. Exactly the same rules apply when entering the UK from Ireland. However, there is currently no enforcement even in the airports. The UK government plans to begin enforcing the rules in airports in 2009 and in sea ports by 2012. There is no plan to enforce the rules along Ireland's long land border with the UK. Finally, everyone wishing to enter Ireland (or the UK) from a third country needs a passport (or EU national ID card), including UK and Irish citizens.

Why is Irish so important in Ireland?
While only spoken fluently by a minority, it is the national language. It is part of Irish culture and has large influences in Irish society, such as in placenames, official titles for some organisations or titles for some jobs. "Taoiseach", which is an old Irish word for a chieftain or leader, is used as the official title for a head of an Irish government. It is one of many Irish words that are used in everyday conversation by English speakers. No one in Ireland would refer to the prime minister, when talking about the head of an Irish government. "Prime Minister" would always be immediately seen as a reference to the head of a British government. Music and poetry are also heavily influenced by the Irish language.
It influences placenames in that many of the English names are either direct translations or mispronunciations of the Irish names. Both names are shown on signposts and street name plates. Sometimes the Irish and English names have no connection. Dublin comes from Dubh Linn, meaning Black Pool. However the Irish name used for Dublin is Baile Ãtha Cliath, which means the Crossing at the Hurdle Ford. The two names refer to two separate places, over 1000 years ago, both of which now are in modern Dublin.
The Irish language is part of the Irish people's identity. Most people know at least a little Irish. It is some that sets Irish people apart from others, in the same way that any native language does. As it is not an internationally known language, that makes it more special an unique. Irish people have been known to use it in order to keep a conversation private while in other countries, or do things like give a warning to someone without other people knowing.

It comes from the Middle English Ireland, which in turn is from the Old English Írland/Íraland: Íras, the Irish. The Indo-European root is Iveriú which appears in Greek as Ierné, Latin as I(u)verna/Juberna>Hibernia and in Old Irish as Ériu.
There was also a goddess named Ériu but the country is not necessarily named
after her.

.................................................................................................................
Ireland is named after ÉRIU who was the queen of the Tuatha Dé Danaan. She was killed at the battle of Tailtiú by Suirge. At this battle the Milesians defeated the Tuatha dé Danann and gained supremacy over Ireland. Ériu's dying wish was that the country be named after her and it was. This of course is a mythical distortion of the more prosaic truth of conquest. There are two other names for Ireland, Fódhla and Banba. Éire (or Ériu) represented the geographical or earthy sense. The other two symbolise Ireland in its warrior and spiritual senses respectively.
Ériu means "regular traveller" and for this and other reasons it is thought that she is a Sun Goddess. As far as I know she was not "worshipped" as such, as is claimed below.

Ire+land.
Ire: I think it's an anglicisation (pronouncing a foreign language word as best you can in English) of Éire (pronounced AIR-ih), who I think was a pagan god worshipped in prechristian times.
land: English word
therefore
Ireland: Land of Goddess Éire/Land where Éire is worshipped/Éire's Land/Éire's Dominion etc
