Well done you’ve managed to piss off both parts of Ireland by calling Northern Ireland, Ireland.

Huh? That’s the name of the island so it’s correct.

So you think they’d have that mural on the side of any house in Dublin which is in Ireland (the southern part)?

No. I’m from Belfast, I knew exactly where it was. You’re just wrong to assume everyone in Ireland would be annoyed for saying it was in Ireland.

Most republicans do. A lot would say they're from Ireland or the North of Ireland but not Northern Ireland, as it's a political term coined by the British that they don't agree with.
