== Land Border of the UK ==
UK doesn't have a land border with "the Republic of Ireland" as there is no such country. The name of the country that the UK shares a border with is Ireland. Can this be corrected please?<!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Pdenisb|Pdenisb]] ([[User talk:Pdenisb#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Pdenisb|contribs]]) 10:26, 23 July 2024 (UTC)</small>
:No. It would be confusing because it can be both the island and the state. We have an article called [[Republic of Ireland]], there's absolutely no problem in using that term. [[User:DeCausa|DeCausa]] ([[User talk:DeCausa|talk]]) 11:20, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
:See [[Names of the Irish State]]: "Since 1949, the [[Republic of Ireland Act 1948]] has provided that the ''Republic of Ireland'' (or ''Poblacht na hÉireann'' in Irish) is the official ''description'' for the state.<ref>The Republic of Ireland Act, 1948 (Commencement) Order, 1949 (S.I. No. 27/1949) appointed 18 April 1949 (Easter Monday, the thirty third anniversary of the Irish [[Easter Rising]]) as the day the Republic of Ireland Act 1948 would come into force.</ref> However, ''Ireland'' remains the constitutional ''name'' of the state."

-a rather Irish distinction, some might say. [[User:Johnbod|Johnbod]] ([[User talk:Johnbod|talk]]) 16:27, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
