To be clear though is it Eire that’s the issue or is Éire also taboo.
The former I can understand as the lack of a thingy gives the word a different meaning but if Éire is also taboo then that I still don’t get as outside blatant misuse by the far right, everyone else is surely trying not to offend by using the local lingo over English.

Is the acute a trivial matter in French?
I find the reaction here to this very interesting. You continue to call it what you wish, I’ve already linked to a breakdown of why the term is incorrectly used and especially in the context of political conversations.
