Is southern Ireland called Southern Ireland or just Ireland?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, it's like Ireland is Ireland, you know? The southern part is just still Ireland, they didn't go all fancy and change the name to "Southern Ireland" or anything. It's like if you're in the south of the country, you're still in Ireland, not some new made-up place.

Answer 2

It's called Republic of Ireland (commonly called 'Ireland'). According to Article 4 of the Constitution, "the name of the State is Éire, or, in the English language, Ireland."

The term "southern Ireland" is not used here. Many Irish, both north and south of the border, refer to the south simply as "Ireland", "the south", "the Republic" (after The Republic of Ireland Act 1948, which described the state as the "Republic of Ireland" (Poblacht na hÉireann)) and sometimes as "the Free State" (after the term Irish Free State which was used in the Anglo-Irish-Treaty of 1922 and established the south of Ireland as a self-governing dominion within the British Commonwealth).

Answer 3

If you mean "Southern Ireland" as compared to "Northern Ireland" then it can be called the Republic of Ireland, Ireland or Éire. "Southern Ireland" is an incorrect term used. Actually, the most northerly point on the island of Ireland is not in Northern Ireland, so from some people's description it is in "Southern Ireland". Geographically speaking, southern Ireland would be the province of Munster. Check out the maps below. You will see that Munster forms the geographical south of Ireland. You will see that Northern Ireland is in the north-east. Northern Ireland is part of Ulster, having 6 of Ulster's 9 counties. You will see that the northernmost point is not in Northern Ireland, but is still in Ulster. It is in county Donegal.
