    You also want to be careful using terms like ‘Southern Ireland’. Northern Ireland is a thing, and the Republic of Ireland is a thing…

      Yes, I decided to call it “Southern Ireland”, because I doubt many people outside of Europe will know which one of the two Irelands is the “Republic of Ireland”.

      I did look up beforehand, if I’m allowed to say “Southern Ireland” without being crucified and Wikipedia said yes maybe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Ireland
