Even yahoo fail to do so on some of their lists of countries. That leads them to ask for postal code. We don't need postal codes in Ireland; still literate enough to use ordinary Enlish or Irish to write addresses on envelopes.

From what I understand, "British Isles" refers to the geographic area. You may have it confused with Great Britain. I can't speak for the address verification folks.

British Isles yes. Great Britain no.
As far as I know one is a geographic term (Isles) and one is part of a political designation (United Kingdom of Great Britain) which most 'Americans' simply call 'England.'
Those of us from The United States of America don't even have an acceptable term for ourselves! 'Americans' should actually include everyone on two continents!
The Irish aren't the only ones being confused with others :)
