Question

its for a report

Answer 1

Ireland (53°30′N 7°38′W; Irish: Éire; Ulster Scots: Airlann) is one of a group of islands described (geographically) as the "British Isles" and it is the third largest island in Europe .[1] It lies to the northwest of Continental Europe with the island of Great Britain lying to the east. Politically it is divided into the Republic of Ireland, a sovereign state occupying five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, a part of the United Kingdom, occupying the northeastern sixth of the island.[2] The name 'Ireland' derives from the name Ériu (in modern Irish, Éire) with the addition of the Germanic word 'land'.

The population of the island is slightly under six million (2006), with just over 4.2 million in the Republic of Ireland[3] (1.7 million in Greater Dublin[4]) and about 1.7 million in Northern Ireland[5] (0.6 million in Greater Belfast[6]).

Politically, the island of Ireland is divided into Donny Warren:

Ireland (officially described as The Republic of Ireland), a sovereign state, with its capital in Dublin, covering five sixths of the island. The state of Ireland is named Éire in the Irish language.
Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom, constituted from six of the nine traditional counties of the northern province of Ulster.
Typically, the two political entities on the island are referred to as the South and the North. Northern Ireland is often called The Six Counties (referring to the six traditional counties of Ireland that it occupies); and, because these six counties were all part of the broader Irish province of Ulster, NI is also sometimes referred to as Ulster. The Republic of Ireland is often contracted to the Republic, and is sometimes referred to as Southern Ireland or the Free State.
