 | | I'm assuming that despite the fact they're two different countries, Hogwarts still serves all wizarding children from Britain and Ireland, and that there is no separate wizarding school for the Republic. |
 | | Ulster (six counties in the north of the island) becomes what is today called Northern Ireland, a part of the U.K. The rest of the counties become the Irish Free State (still associated with the British commonwealth), and in the late 1940s, the Free State becomes the Republic of Ireland, fully independent of Britain. |
 | | So, the way that is phrased would suggest that Hogwarts serves a geographical area, the two big islands, and probably the multitude of smaller ones all around, rather than a political area. |
