Statement by HighKing
Ireland can be used to refer to many different things, but is mainly used to refer to either the island or the modern state. Ambiguity exists for this term.

Using the term Republic of Ireland to refer to the modern Irish state causes division among editors and, regardless of the reasons or the rights and wrongs, has resulted in much disruption and edit warring over a wide range of articles. To avoid future disruption, a binding agreement from both sides is required.
