Um I didn t say Northern Ireland was not a part of Ireland as the island What I m saying is that however much they may be as one politically they are no recognised as such When it comes to geographical locations we attatch the political names to them all over the world If for some reason Northern Wales became independent then yes you would call it Northern Wales Its the same with South Ossetia now having categories and labels to indicate that this is now not Georgia politically anyway Its the same with West and East Germany Yes both were part of Germany as such but between 1945 and 1989 on wikipedia is it asserted that it was West germany and East Germany That s why we have tons of categories on atheltes and sports people etc during this period which have the specific political categories evwne though they arre all German Are you disputing the fact that The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland are politically not one internationally recognised political body Its the same with Hispaniola Shall we name all the categories as Hispaniolan and start calling it Hispaniola e g Port au Prince is a city on Hispaniola to unite the two countries Haiti and DOminican Republic on this island I m not disputing that Northern Ireland people are Irish people in culture and geographically and I have always believed the whole island should be as one but we have to recognise what these places are under political territory as this is the formal way to do it
