And I have heard many people talk about the North and the South. Just because you haven’t, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t happen.

Belfast is in Ireland. So, sometimes a qualifier is needed. I find you and people with your attitude offensive to be honest

Good god, why is this so hard. Ireland is the name of a COUNTRY. Belfast is not in it. It's in Northern Ireland, which is in the UK.

Fucking hell people. You think its offensive to know what city is in what country?

Belfast is on the island of Ireland. Many people who are from there might say they are going back to Ireland for the weekend. They are as entitled to an Irish passport as you. They may be insulted if you call them Northern Irish.

And as I said, when Ireland was given its name, the people who gave it that name definitely considered that the country included Belfast. That that has now legally changed, but the legal name has remained the same, is a quirk of history.

Some messers trying to either provoke, or prove their innocence here.

Belfast is on the island of Ireland.

yes, but you said Belfast is IN Ireland. It is not.

This is not about quirks of history or whether people in NI are entitled to Irish passports. Belfast is categorically and factually 100% NOT IN IRELAND.

Fuck me.

It is in Ireland. The island of Ireland. Therefore, using only Ireland can, depending on context, lead to confusion, as who knows if the person is referring to the country or the land mass?
The only reason the country is called Ireland, with no qualifier, is because in 1937, constitutionally the national territory was the entire island. I’m sure if that was not the case, a little more clarity might have been required. Getting het up about people adding qualifiers to Ireland just seems ridiculous in the circumstances (particularly given what seems to be your woeful ignorance about Northern Ireland).

No, it isn't.

Look, if you don't know what constitutes the country of Ireland, that's ok. Get a map, and learn. There is no shame in it. But don't argue when you;re told by people who live in the country that a city you think is in their country is not in it. It's pretty rude.
I might as well insist that Cardiff is in England.

It isn't any more though, we gave up our claim to the North as part of the GFA. So using Ireland to name the country is entirely appropriate. That is our name! If you need to qualify whether you mean the country instead of the landmass, ROI is the description.

Ah we just roll our eyes at the ignorant English person and their Ehhh-ra.

Seriously, you think I’m English? 😄

And of course it is entirely appropriate to call the country Ireland, it’s its legal name. I’m questioning whether it is appropriate to have a go at English people who might say S Ireland, or an English person who uses the North and the South (v rudely) and the correct them (wrongly) when they say that they’ve seen Irish people argue themselves over terminology. It’s confusing. The history makes it more confusing. And there are so many more offensive things being said, and things being done, by the English re Ireland that I don’t know why certain people get hung up on this.

It also is indicative of a really irritating and superior attitude many southerners have towards northerners where they pretend those loud, angry, people have nothing to do with them at all, at all. Sure what does history matter, after all?

It's not confusing at all, stop claiming it is.

And yet again, its not offensive when someone gets it wrong. It's offensive when, like you, you keep on and on about why you are not wrong and blather a load of shite about why you think you're not wrong.

For the last time, Belfast is NOT IN IRELAND. Belfast is in Northern Ireland, which is in the UK. Do you need a map?

could you please stop calling people southerners. What is Donegal south OF, in your mind?
What are you waffling about? Knowing what country you live in is not indicative of any political or historical knowledge or stance.

goodgirls, is Belfast in the island of Ireland or not?

And of course, I’m perfectly aware of which country Belfast is in. I just take exception to the tone you take to correcting people.

WRT the “island of Ireland” thing. Of course Ireland is the name of the island, there is no argument there, and Belfast being on that island is of course, er, on the island of Ireland however saying you’re going to Belfast, in Ireland, is like saying you’re going to Glasgow, in Great Britain. Nobody says that. Nobody. They say they’re going to Glasgow, in Scotland. No reference at all to “the island of Great Britain” that would be ridiculous. It’s just as ridiculous to refer to Belfast, in Ireland because it’s on the island of Ireland. Belfast is in Northern Ireland. That’s the country it’s in.

That’s not a very good analogy. If you said you were going over to Britain, and someone said, where, and you answered Glasgow, nobody would (or could) say you were wrong.

Anyway, at this stage I’m just arguing for the sake of it! 😄 I’m going to my bed, in the country where I’ve spent my adult life, on the island where I’ve lived my whole life, good night!

If someone said to me they were going to Britain I’d say “wtf are you saying Britain for you weirdo?? Where are you going?” 😂

Belfast is in Northern Ireland, which is in the UK. Do you need a map? I very helpfully posted a map earlier.
