• Just to further this trivial point. This news article is from the Irish Times and they seem to have the knack of locating E acute. They are also an Irish newspaper and yet, they spell Saor Eire (I don’t know how to put the acute on the E) consistently without the acute.

    As I said, the acute seems like a trivial matter and I am old and very well aware of the sensibilities on both sides of the border.

  • Now I'm confused. Following that link - "NB: Do not use 'Republic of Ireland' nor 'Irish Republic'."

    So I can't say ROI. From now on I'll stick to Ireland. This is similar to my time spent in the industrial capital of India asking the locals what the name of their city was.
