Éire (Irish: [ˈeː?ʲ?] ( listen)) is Irish for "Ireland", the name of an island and a sovereign state.
Sir, - In "An Irishman's Diary" of August 23rd, Kevin Myers contends that many people find the use of the word "Eire" offensive when used to describe this State. I would suggest that its misuse, rather than its use, is what some people find irritating rather than offensive.
The term 'Ireland' applies to whole island. They wanted to avoid describing the Southern Ireland team as 'Ireland' so 'Eire' demarcates the fact that it is the 26 county team they are talking about. This was in the era that the Republic of Ireland used to claim the territory of the whole island.
