Very peculiar that you insist on using Eire to denote the name of the country but then constantly use prime minister instead of Taoiseach. Itâs like youâre trying to wind people up⌠but we all know youâre not that kind of poster.

If it was SF, Eastwood would be having a conniption.
We repealed articles 2 and 3 as part of the Good Friday Agreement.
Sorry for being abrupt, but what does that mean?
Abortion for all.
Officially, the 26 counties say that they lay no claim over the six counties.
So, officially, Mickey D is the President of the Republic of Ireland only.
Thank Christ we have Michael D in the Aras and not Liadh ni Riada.
Could you imagine the outrage from the mainstream meeja and FF/FG/LAB if a Sinn Fein President had the audacity to insult the british monarch and the church and leaders in the six counties by refusing the invite.

Bertie the Mason hoodwinked us on that one
In fairness to him he would only go to Northern Ireland if the government jet was available.
Article 4 of your Constitution - The name of the State is Eire
Colum Eastwood would be collapsing Stormont over it.
Thatâs fine. Eire doesnât have a prime minister tho mate, some consistency please.

Republic of Ireland is the description of the State not the name of the State

What does Article 4 say.
The name of the state is Ireland in English, Ăire in Irish
Irish ambassador in Berlin
When informing the German Government of the change of the name of the State, you should not emphasise the Irish form. The change of name would not, of course, have the same political or national significance if âĂireâ were to be used by foreigners. As you are aware, it is the hope of everybody in this country that the use of âIrelandâ to describe the Twenty-Six Counties will have a definite psychological effect in favour of the unity of this country on both Irish and foreign minds.
The imperialists refused to use the word Ireland in government and media until the good Friday agreement. Some of them still do it seems

Expecting the President of Ireland to go up and commemorate partition is as stupid as Charlie Flanagan expecting the people to be ok with commemorating the RIC.
And calling him the President of the Republic of Ireland (an entity that doesnât exist) was a calculated diplomatic slight.

The service has been titled as âmarking the centenaries of the partition of Ireland and the foundation of Northern Irelandâ.
Why would anyone want to mark the partition of Ireland other than DUP cunts?

It was a ceremony to mark partition. There is nothing objectionable about this title.
A reality, as much as you are all loath to admit it. And his actions have set further back the dream of a 32 county Republic, which is great really.
Why would Unionists go to anything of a nationalist bent?
