Talk:Irish Republic

Regarding the opening paragraph:

In England, Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Irish Republic and Southern Ireland are sometimes used as if they are different words for the same country. They are not, and using the wrong name is an insult at least to the government. Veterans, and their families, of the Wars of Independence(1916-1922) and the Civil War are also greatly offended.

This is a highly biased view point and one that must be based on the authors own experience. Such a sweeping statement is simply not true, and I should know as great grandson of such a veteran.
