 Republic of Ireland - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Republic of Ireland
Forming the nucleus of the old city of Dublin, in the Republic of Ireland, the castle was used by the English as a centre of government and control until 1922.
However the Republic took part in the Sunningdale Conference in 1973 on the future of Ireland and, as the violence became more acute and predictably spread into the South, strenuous efforts were made against the IRA by the government of the South.
In 1988 relations between the Republic of Ireland and the UK were at a low ebb because of disagreements over decisions relating to the extradition of republican prisoners.

The island of Ireland, named Hibernia by the Romans, is 485km (301 miles) from North to South and 275km (171 miles) from East to West.
Northern Ireland, capital - Belfast, also referred to controversially as the 'Six Counties', 'The North of Ireland', and 'Ulster' (the latter somewhat misleadingly as it is also the name of the historic province of Ulster encompassing three counties in the Republic as well as the six counties of Northern Ireland).

United Ireland: Article 2 states that everyone born on the island of Ireland has the right "to be part of the Irish Nation", and grants citizenship to all such people (if at least one of their parents are Irish).
The term Republic of Ireland has been widely used since the adoption of Republic of Ireland Act in 1949 but, so as not to violate the constitution, was at that time declared to be merely the official description of the state.
The Constitution of Ireland, particularly in the form in which it was adopted in 1937, has been accused of favouring the Roman Catholic Church and of bias against Protestants.

This created two states, Southern Ireland (of 26 counties) and Northern Ireland (of 6 counties), both of which were to remain part of the United Kingdom.
The new state was unambiguously described as a republic, with the international and diplomatic functions previously vested in or exercised by the King now vested in the President of Ireland who finally became unambiguously the Irish head of state.
While the Republic often chose to use the word Ireland to describe itself, particularly in the diplomatic sphere, many states avoid using that term because of the existence of a second Ireland, Northern Ireland, and because the 1937 constitution claimed that the south had jurisdiction over the north.

 IRRA Proceedings 2002/Invited International
The most widely touted explanation for Irish "exceptionalism" relates to the socio-political context which, it is argued, remains conducive to a strong collectivist orientation in industrial relations (Roche and Turner 1994).
Thus, pluralist industrial relations traditions are well ingrained in our national psyche and traditionally evident in comparatively high levels of union penetration, a reliance on adversarial collective bargaining and industrial relations as a key management activity in most medium and larger organizations.
In our introduction we noted the contrast between the industrial relations trajectories of Ireland and those of the UK and the United States from the early 1980s where, in the latter, trade unions had to face a quite hostile political and legal environment.

 washingtonpost.com: N. Ireland Assembly Reelects Trimble
But the narrow victory in the Northern Ireland Assembly hardly looked like a moment of triumph for Trimble or his fellow backers of the 1998 Good Friday agreement, the peace plan that largely ended three decades of sectarian warfare.
The raucous behavior reflected the tense state of community relations in Northern Ireland, where schools, parks, government buildings and even churches are surrounded by tall barbed-wire fences.
Trimble, as head of the largest unionist party, was elected first minister of Northern Ireland's local government when it was seated in 1999.

Foreign countries which wish to address political, economic or trade issues in the Taiwan area must deal directly with the ROC government and their nationals who wish to enter the Taiwan area must apply for an entry visa from the ROC government at one of her consulates abroad.
Today, the GNP of the ROC is the world's 19th largest; her per capita income approximates US$12,000; her foreign exchange reserves of over US$100 billion are the second largest in the world; and she ranks as the sixth largest outbound investor.
Against this backdrop, the ROC Legislative Yuan passed a resolution in June 1991, recommending that the government expand its foreign relations and participate once again in the UN, when the time is opportune.

So our model could allow for governments of Northern Ireland to continue not to be held to ransom by the IRA and to be able to withstand what comes its way in terms of what's happening in the streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The prime minister of the United Kingdom and the prime minister of the Republic of Ireland have decided that next Tuesday we should have meetings in Stormont [Northern Ireland’s parliament building in Belfast], so I suspect it's going to be further delayed.
And in the most recent elections— indeed, this has been a pattern replicated throughout elections in Northern Ireland the last 30 years— the spokespersons for these organizations on the unionist side have received derisory votes and have been overwhelmingly rejected in the main by the unionist population.

 'Colombia 3' strain Ireland's international relations | csmonitor.com
The return to Ireland of three convicted terrorist-collaborators and suspected Irish Republican Army members is causing a major foreign relations problem for the Irish government and may threaten the Northern Ireland peace process.
The UUP said that unless the Colombia 3 were returned to Colombia, "Ireland was harboring terrorists and shirking its duty in the international war on terror," reported The Guardian, while in a Reuters article, the DUP suggested that the trio's return was part of a deal secretly negotiated between the IRA and Irish Republic.
In their search for grounds to compel Ireland's extradition of the trio, Colombia's lawyers have even gone all the way back to a 1888 treaty with the United Kingdom, of which Ireland was a part at the time, reports The Sunday Times of Ireland.
