Question

I mean I know the history of Ireland but this is 2008, are you guys in the UK still fighting with Ireland?

Answer 1

Because its a different country alltogether!!

UK is one sovereign state, Republic of Ireland is another.

Sounds like you don't know the history of Ireland at all to me.

NORTHERN Ireland is part of the UK, and has MPs in Westminster. The Republic is its own entity.

Free Ireland from British.Long live united Ireland.The only thing the lime heads understand is violence.Free and united Ireland forever limey out of Ireland.

In the refrendum people of Ireland chose to be part of U.K. but like an autonomous body. Those guys are wrong.

Answer 7

Answer 8

On the island of ireland there is one country which is called the republic of ireland (often mistakenly refered to as southern ireland.) The other part is occupied by the british and is part of the Uk that is the united kingdom of great britan and northern ireland, great britan is composed of england ,scotland and wales.

No we are not fighting....

If you really do know the history of ireland then you would not be asking the question "why is ireland not part of the uk"

The name ireland is used to refer to the whole island but when used will commonly refer to the republic, as in our constitution, Its irish name is Eire or Eireann   depending on the context it is used. The republic has "dibbs" on the name Ireland as we have a constitution.

Also the UK cannot afford another war with the whole irish people we brought them to their Knees in the war of independance and infiltrated their operations in the country untill they could no longer run any administrative offices in the country. Thanks to one man and his twelve apostles aka michael collins.

I agree with david d`s reference to the uk and the n***s, the irish famine was a holocost, food was leaving ireland for the uk and its colonies while people starved, the government knew of this, tony blair even appologised for the famine. 150 years to late.

Answer 9

yeah because ireland is better than the uk. we never fought them they invaded us first for 800 years and we beat them. 43 to 3 in rugby up the ra (ira)

Answer 10

The island of Ireland is divided into two parts. The larger southern part is an independent country: Republic of Ireland. The northern part: Northern Ireland is part of U.K. The problem in the north is between Catholics and Church of England members. Things have cooled down in recent years.

We're just dancing partners despite the rumours.
