Ireland is an island in north-western Europe which
has been divided politically since 1920. The Republic of Ireland
(Irish: ?ire or Poblacht na h?ireann) [1] is a nation state of
Western Europe. It constitutes the main portion of (the island
of) Ireland, and is bounded to the northeast by Northern Ireland
(Irish: Tuaisceart ?ireann) which is part of the United Kingdom.

Understand
The island of Ireland historically consists of 32 counties,
of which six, collectively known as Northern Ireland, have remained
as part of the United Kingdom since the rest of Ireland gained
independence in 1922. The name "Ireland" applies to
the island as a whole, but is also the official name in English
of the independent state (i.e. the 26 counties which are not
part of the United Kingdom), since 1937. The name Republic of
Ireland is commonly used to distinguish the Republic from the
North.
