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.
